Adele Uncertain About When She’ll ‘Perform Again’ After Vegas Residency
Adele is getting emotional as she closes out her residency in Las Vegas.
“I will miss it terribly, and I will miss you terribly,” the British singer, 36, told the audience during the 100th and final show of her Weekends with Adele residency in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday, November 23, per social media footage.
“I don’t know when I’m next gonna perform again,” she continued while on stage at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace. “I’m not doing anything else. I’m actually s—ting myself like, what I am gonna do while I’m gone. I don’t have any f—ing plans.”
She continued, “Of course I’ll be back, the only thing I’m good at is singing. I don’t know when I want to next come onstage.”
Adele’s residency at Caesars Palace kicked off in November 2022 after being postponed earlier in the year due to production challenges as well as other obstacles.
“I’m so sorry, but my show ain’t ready,” she shared in an emotional video via Instagram at the time. “We’ve tried absolutely everything that we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you, but we’ve been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID – half my crew are down with COVID, they still are — and it’s been impossible to finish the show. … I can’t give you what I have right now.”
Two years later, the “Someone Like You” singer acknowledged the residency’s “rocky” start during her final show. “I’m so sad this residency is over but I am so glad that it happened, I really, really am,” she said on Saturday, per Rolling Stone, describing the period of time between January 2022 and November 2022 as “the worst year of my life.”
She further advised the crowd, “If something doesn’t feel right to you, don’t fucking do it.”
In August, Adele confirmed during a performance in Munich that a lengthy musical hiatus was in her future after the conclusion of her Las Vegas residency. “After that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time and I will hold you dear in my heart,” she said.
“I’m not the most comfortable performer, I know that. But I am very f—ing good at it. And I have really enjoyed performing for nearly three years now, which is the longest I’ve ever done and probably the longest I will ever do,” she shared. “It has been amazing, I just need a rest.”
She said, “I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself and I want to live it. I want to live my new life that I’ve been building. I will miss you terribly.”
