Adele's Farewell: Record-Breaking Munich Shows and an Indefinite Hiatus

Adele BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Adele just wrapped up her history-making Munich concert residency, earning record-breaking attendance with over 730,000 tickets sold and drawing reported earnings of about 50 million dollars for ten nights, which her management told SXSW London is the single biggest grossing show by a female artist in one city. As her Munich shows garnered critical acclaim and a Residency of the Year nomination at the 2025 Pollstar Awards, Adele stunned fans by telling a packed crowd during her last show that she will be stepping away from music for what she called an incredibly long time. Deadline and People magazine confirm that following her final “Weekends with Adele” Las Vegas shows running from October 25 through November 23, the superstar will take an indefinite hiatus from performing and has no plans to release new music for the foreseeable future, sharing on German TV that she wants a big break and might pursue other creative avenues instead. Social media has erupted with a mix of heartbreak and support, with a poignant TikTok clip of Adele’s farewell speech circulating widely as fans process the news. On Instagram, she’s posted about being present for a good time but not a long time, echoing her intent to step out of the spotlight, while her main account’s meteoric engagement—averaging two million likes per recent post with a following topping fifty-eight million—shows just how closely her every move is watched. Adele herself remains cagey on future projects, but recent months have seen a spike in speculation about her personal life: a photograph from a recent outing with her partner Rich Paul had social media buzzing about a possible pregnancy, especially after last May’s onstage revelation that she wants to have a baby girl once her touring commitments wrap up. Fans have also revisited her candid Munich disclosure last year where she hinted at wedding plans with Rich Paul after declining a marriage proposal from an adoring fan, though both baby and wedding rumors remain unconfirmed gossip with no official statement from Adele or her team. Meanwhile, the demand for Adele’s music endures, with a spate of tribute concerts scheduled in New York, Orlando, and Detroit over the next several weeks, testament to the enduring resonance of her work even as she prepares to step away. As of today, the biggest headline is clear: Adele, at the peak of her career and after redefining live performance records in Europe, is taking a major step back from the music world, leaving fans to savor her legacy and wonder what might come next.
