Adele has left fans speculating that she has retired from making music after making a shocking statement on the final show of her Munich residency in Germany.

Is Adele quitting music?

Adele made a shocking statement to reveal she is taking a break from music, telling fans "I will not see you for an incredibly long time."

“I’m not the most comfortable performer, I know that, but I am very f–king 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 told fans at the 10th and final show of her Munich residency.

“I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself, and I want to live it now,” she said through tears. “I want to live my new life that I’ve been building.”

The new life in question is that of a whirlwind romance with sports agent Rich Paul, who have been dating since 2021.

The news comes less than a month after Adele confirmed longstanding rumours that she and Paul, 43, are set to wed.

After spotting a Munich concertgoer holding a sign with a marriage proposal on it in early August, the superstar said, “I can’t marry you because I’m already getting married” before showing her engagement ring.
