Addressing the audience, she expressed her deep gratitude to everyone who has attended her shows throughout her career. “I’d like to thank you so much for coming to my show this evening, I would like everyone who’s come to any one of my shows ever (to) thank you so much for coming,” Adele said, her voice filled with emotion.
The singer, known for her powerful vocals and emotional performances, acknowledged that performing has always been a challenging experience for her. “I’m not the most comfortable performer,” she confessed, before adding, “But I am very f**king good at it, and I’ve really enjoyed performing for nearly three years now, which is the longest I’ve ever done, and probably the longest I would ever do.”
The End of an Era
Adele’s Las Vegas residency, which has been a significant part of her career over the past few years, was set to end earlier but was extended due to health issues that caused delays in some shows. Now, with only 10 shows left in the residency, Adele has confirmed that these will be her final performances for the foreseeable future.
“I’m thrilled that it’s not [over] because I still have exactly five weeks of shows, cause it’s like weekends and stuff like that, and 10 shows to do. And after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time,” she told her fans, leaving them with a bittersweet feeling of anticipation and loss.
The Reason Behind the Hiatus

More importantly, she expressed a desire to enjoy the new life she has been building for herself over the past seven years.
“I just need a rest and I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself, and I want to live it now, I want to live the new life that I’ve been building,” Adele explained, offering her fans insight into her personal journey and the motivations behind her decision.
What’s Next for Adele?
