Adele says she has no plans for new music, wants to ‘take a big break’
Making new music won’t be a priority for Adele after she wraps up her Las Vegas residency later this year.
The Emmy, Grammy and Oscar winning singer revealed that she has other irons in the fire when it comes to her creative pursuits — and recording new music isn’t one of them.
“I don’t have any plans for new music, at all,” she told German public broadcast service ZDF. “I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while.”
“I have nothing to say yet. I haven’t even thought about it… I have to wait for a feeling,” she said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter late last year, in which she also discussed her acting debut. “If I get antsy, that’s when I know I have to go to the studio, and I am the opposite of antsy right now.”
Adele’s last album, her fourth studio opus, “30,” was released in 2021 — six years after 2015’s “25.” The acclaimed project, which delivered the Hot 100 chart-topper “Easy on Me,” won Album of the Year at the 2022 Brit Awards.
Since then, the powerhouse has mostly performed her “Weekends with Adele” residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, expected to wrap in late November.
Throughout next month, Adele is scheduled to perform select dates at Munich’s Messe München arena between Aug. 2 and Aug. 24.
The mother of 11-year-old Angelo — with ex-husband Simon Konecki — added to ZDF that she’s not a fan of the spotlight that has come with her success: “I don’t like being famous. I love that I get to make music all the time.”
