Pop star Adele is taking a break from music.
The "Rolling In The Deep" singer was in tears as she told fans in Germany about the "incredibly long" pause ahead.
Adele broke the news at the last show of her residency in Munich. The singer, 36, hinted at exhaustion and plans to build a family with her 43-year-old fiancé, sports agent Rich Paul.
"I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself and I want to live it now. I want to live my life that I've been building and I will miss you terribly," she told fans.
Adele released her last studio album, "30", in November 2021. She began her Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace the following year.
The singer confirmed Saturday that her upcoming stretch of shows in Las Vegas will be her last for some time.
"I've really enjoyed performing … it's been three years now, which is the longest I've done and probably the longest I'll ever do," she said.
"But I have 10 shows left after this, back in my (Las Vegas) residency … but after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time and I will hold you dear in my heart for that whole length of my break," she said.
"And I will fantasize about these shows and any shows that I've done over the last three years, and I'll really, really hold them in the bottom of my heart forever. It has been amazing," she said.
The singer has one child with her ex-husband Simon Konecki. She told fans in May that she wants to have a girl, once her work obligations are finished.
"Once I am done with all my obligations and all of my shows, I want to have a baby," she said in Las Vegas.
"I want a girl because I've already got a boy. I feel like she might be like the person I love the most in the world, but also probably hate the most in the world — that is what I feel will happen."
Adele had already hinted in July that she needed a break from music.
“I don’t have any plans for new music at all,” she told German outlet ZDF. “I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while."
