The development precedes her return to the Las Vegas stage for the “Weekends with Adele” residency, scheduled from Oct. 25, 2024 to Nov. 23, 2024, according to Deadline. After two years of performances, Adele previously expressed her intention to step back from the limelight during a July 14, 2024 interview with Germany’s ZDF public broadcast service.
“I don’t have any plans for new music at all,” she said, Deadline reported. “I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while.”

Adele’s latest album, “30,” was released in 2021, the outlet noted. She has been performing in twice-weekly shows in Munich since early August, the outlet reported. The residency featured “Adele World,” an elaborate outdoor setup which included a Ferris wheel, an authentic English pub and an “I Drink Wine” bar, according to Deadline.
