Adele is warning her fans about her upcoming hiatus.

The “Easy on Me” singer, 36, told audience members at a recent Munich concert that she will be stepping away from the spotlight “for an incredibly long time" after her Las Vegas residency ends in November.

A video posted on TikTok shows Adele onstage addressing her fans, at which time she said, "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."

People in the comment section shared their grief over the news, while also recognizing that Adele takes extended breaks between projects.

"This is what Adele does. Disappears, then comes out with a banger," a fan wrote, alluding to her six-year gap between her 25 and 30 albums.

Adele is set to perform her final 10 shows of her Weekends with Adele residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace from Oct. 25 to Nov. 23, marking the end of the residency that started in November 2022.

The dates were originally scheduled for March, but Adele needed to postpone them in February to go on vocal rest. "Sadly I have to take a beat and pause my Vegas residency," she said at the time. "I was sick at the end of the last leg and all the way through my break."

The 16-time Grammy winner wrapped her Munich residency on Sunday, Aug. 31. The residency started on Aug. 2 and played at the open-air venue Messe München. Per the website for the residency, the run was the first time she has performed in "mainland Europe" since 2016.

Earlier this summer, Adele told German outlet ZDF that she doesn't have plans for new music. Instead, she's focusing on other endeavors.

"I don’t have any plans for new music, at all," she said. "I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while."

In August, Adele seemingly confirmed the engagement rumors surrounding her relationship with sports executive Rich Paul when she told a fan during her concert that she "can’t marry" them because "I’m already getting married." The moment was captured by someone in the audience.

The couple first sparked dating rumors in July 2021, when they were photographed watching an NBA Finals game courtside together.
