The singer's final show is scheduled for November 23, and then the break starts. Adele announced the final dates with a message about how much the residency means to her and how it has changed her life.

During an interview with German Outlet ZDF, the "Hello" singer revealed that she's taking a break from music after she completes her "Weekends with Adele" Las Vegas residency, which is scheduled to end in November.
She said, "I don't have any plans for new music at all. I want a big break after this, and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while. I don't like being famous. I love that I get to make music all the time."
Adele started her Vegas residency in November 2022 with a performance that went viral on social media. She's since taken the Colosseum at Caesars Palace by storm with each performance.
The final show of the residency is scheduled for November 23, after the singer performs a run of 10 special shows in Munich in August.

When Adele announced the final performances for the Vegas residency, she wrote on X (formerly Twitter) about the impact the shows had on her.
"This residency, these shows have changed my life," Adele began. "I desperately needed to fall back in love with performing live again, and I have. I needed to reconnect with my songs and remember what they mean to me, and I have!"
The "Someone Like You" singer noted that being able to reconnect with the audience on stage "has been a truly extraordinary restorative experience" that's unforgettable to her.
She added, "All the hilarious, soulful, wild and heartbreaking interactions we've had are banked in my mind for life."

Adele previously discussed taking a hiatus from music during a December 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
She said, "I get nervous about wearing my voice out [at the residency]. It's a lot of singing. It's two hours. It's all live. It's a lot. And I f-cking motormouth and chat me a-s off as well. But yeah, I have nothing to say yet. I haven't even thought about it."
Adele also shared that she sees music as her "hobby" and that she dreams of being a script reader. When asked about plans to own her own production company, the "Easy on Me" singer said she doesn't want to create her own "things" and would prefer to "work with something" or "join something."
She also said, "That's what I'd actually love. People think it's hilarious, and they don't take me seriously. And I often say to my manager, 'I think I could make some really great stuff, I want to be really successful at something.' And he's like, 'What?!' I was like, 'I know, but [music] is my hobby. I just fell into it and then it just happened. I want to be in TV and behind the scenes.'"

Adele has also hinted at plans to expand her family soon and once told fans she was ready to be "a mom again."
In a TikTok video of one of her Vegas performances, Adele is seen being asked by an audience member for help picking baby names.
While responding to the fan, Adele shared her wish to have another child, saying, "I really want to be a mom again soon. I've actually been writing lists. So every time I see a name that I like, I write it down in my phone."
Adele also revealed that her boyfriend, Rich Paul, is in a similar mindset, noting that he likes the name Parker.
The Grammy Award winner currently co-parents her 10-year-old son Angelo with ex-husband Simon Konecki. Adele and Konecki were married from 2018 until they finalized their divorce in 2019.
In 2021, the "Easy on Me" singer started dating sports agent Paul.
