Final European Performance

During her concert in Munich on Saturday, singer Adele surprised fans by announcing that she is taking an extended break from music.

The announcement came as she neared the end of her Las Vegas residency, with the Munich show being her final scheduled European performance.

Adele paused her performance to share the news, stating, "I have 10 more shows after this. After that, you won't see me for an incredibly long time. I will hold you close in my heart throughout my break, as well as the fantasy of these shows I've been doing for the last three years. It's been amazing, I just need to take a break."

Want to Live Life

The reason behind Adele’s decision to step away from the spotlight is her desire to enjoy the "new life" she has spent the last seven years building.

"I want to live it now," she told the crowd, expressing how much the performances meant to her and how she would cherish them forever.

Adele’s tour was initially set to conclude in Munich, but a bout of illness forced her to reschedule several shows.

Earlier this year, the singer postponed all her Las Vegas concerts due to health issues related to sciatica, a condition affecting the sciatic nerve that causes pain in the lower body.
