Grammy-winning singer Adele has revealed plans to take an extended break from music so that she can do "other creative things for a little while".
The music superstar confirmed that she will be stepping away from music to German broadcaster ZDF ahead of a 10-date residency in Munich.
She said: "I don't have any plans for new music at all.
"I want a big break after all this and I think I want to do other creative things just for a little while.
"You know, I don’t even sing at home at all. How strange is that?"
Adele's last album came out in 2021 and she has spent the past two years playing a weekend residency in Las Vegas, recently completing her 90th show at the 4,000-capacity Caesar's Palace. She is due to wrap up her residency in November.
"Even though it's a very manageable size of crowd, it's really been an emotional exchange," she said.
"I'm sure I'll feel even more like [that] every night after the shows in Munich. But it's a positive thing. It's just such an exchange of energy."
74,000 fans are expected to attend Adele's concerts in Munich each of the ten nights.
A specially-built "pop up" stadium will also host an "Adele experience" featuring an English pub, a stage for a cover band and stalls selling specially designed cocktails.
Organisers are also aiming to get into the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest outdoor screen of all time, measuring 220m in length.
