Adele has warned fans she will be away for an "incredibly long time" after she concludes her Las Vegas residency

In a TikTok clip, she told the crowd at her final date of her Germany residency in Munich on Saturday (31.08.24): "I have 10 shows to do, but after that I will not see you for an incredibly long time.

"And I will hold you dear in my heart."

The 36-year-old superstar has said she is planning to take things easy and spend quality time with her sports agent partner Rich Paul, 42, and her 11-year-old son Angelo - whom she has with ex-spouse Simon Konecki.

She told German outlet ZDF: "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."

Adele has made no secret of the fact that she is keen to have another baby.

The 'I Set Fire To The Rain' hitmaker previously confessed she is a long way off from returning to the studio to work on a follow-up to 2021's '30', however, Adele promised that when she does return with a new record, she will do a world tour.

She told gig-goers at Caesar's Palace earlier this year: "I just don't think I'm gonna write an album for quite some time.

"But next time I do, I'll come to wherever it is you live."

The 'Chasing Pavements' singer also explained why she started disappearing from the limelight for long periods before releasing a new album.

She said: "Sometimes I wonder if people think I'm calculated when I disappear for years on end and I'm elusive and I believe that less is more or something like that.

But the real reason that I've only had four albums and I don't think that many people know this - they know that I have a child - my son is 11 years old. So if you do the math, that means that at the height of '21'... I fell pregnant. To many that would be, and it was, considered career suicide.

"It was there and then that I chose to reject the scarcity of success, and the idea that you have to be constantly relevant to be successful.

"And that perhaps, just maybe, I could be a hit both on and off the stage. And you'll never guess what - I [redacted] got away with it!"
