Adele Shocks Fans By Walking Away From £152m World Tour Deal After Announcing Long Hiatus To Spend Time With Her Family

by Jesse

When it comes to making headlines, Adele never fails to deliver—but this time, it’s not just her soaring vocals causing a stir. The beloved songstress recently broke the hearts of fans worldwide when she announced a long hiatus from music.

We were all left wondering what life would be like without her soulful melodies, soundtracking our breakups, makeups, and everything in between. But, as it turns out, Adele's decision to take a step back from the spotlight came with an even heavier blow—to her wallet.

The 36-year-old star reportedly turned down a staggering £152 million ($200 million) offer to continue touring. Yes, you read that right—£152 million!

Now, for most of us, the idea of turning down that kind of money is mind-boggling. Imagine all the avocados on toast! But for Adele, this isn't just about the cash. It’s about finding balance, spending time with her loved ones, and, well, keeping her sanity intact. 

After all, she’s been one of the hardest-working women in showbiz, and even superstars need a breather.

Adele broke the news to fans during her final Munich performance. She revealed that after her next ten shows, she’ll be stepping away from the spotlight for what she calls "an incredibly long time." Cue the gasps and heart-wrenching groans from her devoted fanbase.

Ten more Vegas shows, then it’s ‘Hello’ to a long hiatus. Adele’s ready to live her best life.

“but after that [10 shows in Vegas], i will not see you for an incredibly long time… i just need a rest. i’ve spent the last 7 years building the life for myself, I want to live it now. I want to live my new life I’ve been building” — Adele pic.twitter.com/LwviKRcVAe

According to an insider, she’s put her son, boyfriend, and herself at the top of her priority list—and who can blame her? Life on tour is no picnic, even if there’s a mountain of cash waiting for you at the finish line.

This isn’t the first time Adele has expressed her need for a breather. Earlier in July, she told a German broadcaster that she planned to take a big break and explore other creative outlets. 

While her Munich tour was a smashing success, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing. The “Hello” Singer faced heavy backlash after canceling several Vegas shows due to illness and COVID-19. 

This left some fans out hundreds of dollars from flights, tickets, and hotels—plus, feeling seriously burned.

Although she's stepping back, Adele still has some unfinished business to attend to in the form of her Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace, which was delayed due to her battle with COVID. 

The residency will wrap up in November, giving fans one last chance to see her perform live before she takes her well-deserved hiatus. So, if you’re planning a trip to Sin City, you might want to book those tickets soon!

However, it wasn’t a decision made lightly. In fact, Adele made it clear that her choice to pause wasn’t just for herself but also for her family, including her son, whom she wants to spend more time with.

That £152 million deal would have seen her embark on another world tour, with stops in glamorous locales like Macau, China. But Adele, being the grounded queen that she is, decided her family comes first. 

While her fans might be devastated by the news, there’s no denying that Adele is leaving on her own terms. So, while we’ll miss her legendary vocals, we can’t help but applaud her for prioritizing herself and her family over the limelight. 

Go ahead, Adele, take that well-deserved break—we’ll be here when you’re ready!
