From hello to goodbye.

Adele is taking a lengthy break from her music career. The 36-year-old shared her decision on stage at her concert in Munich, Germany on Aug. 31, telling the crowd that once she’s done with her Las Vegas residency shows, she plans to step away from the stage.

"I've really enjoyed performing,” the “Easy on Me” singer said in a moment captured on TikTok. “It's been three years now, which is the longest I've done and probably the longest I'll ever do.”

Noting that she’s got 10 shows left in her Vegas residency after missing several due to illness, the fifteen-time Grammy winner continued, “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.”

Expressing her gratitude, Adele added that she will “fantasize” about her time on stage amid her hiatus, adding, “I just need a rest.”

As for what she plans to do during her time off, the emotional British singer said, "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."

Some of the life Adele referenced likely has to do with her fiancé, Rich Paul. Earlier this month, the “Rolling in the Deep” performer confirmed that she and the sports agent, who went public with their romance in 2021, are engaged.

I don’t think anyone is shocked by this. Does anyone know if her contract with Columbia Records is complete?

Doesn't she do this between each album cycle anyway?
