Adele reveals she is ‘planning on taking a break from music’ after her Las Vegas residency

Adele has revealed that she will be taking a break from music after her stay in Las Vegas as she plans to pursue a degree in English Literature.

The singer – who released the music video for her new song I Drink Wine on Wednesday – said she wished she had gone to college after leaving school.

Speaking in a Q&A for fans in Los Angeles seen by The sunAdele, 34, said she will take an online course to complete the degree.

She said, “After Vegas, I really want to get a degree in English literature. If I hadn’t made it in my singing, I think I would definitely be a teacher. I think I would become an English Lit teacher.

“I definitely feel like I’m using my passion for English Lit in what I do. But even though it’s not like I was going to get a job after college, I wish I’d gone to college, I wish I’d had that experience.

“I’m not going to university, I’m doing it online and with a tutor, but that’s my plan for 2025. It’s just to get the qualifications.

Adele’s Las Vegas residency begins in November after previously postponing the shows at the last minute in January.

The singer announced the new dates in July, months after she left fans thousands of pounds out of pocket when she pulled the plug with just 24 hours’ notice.

After the rescheduled dates for the performance were leaked, the singer took to Instagram in July to confirm that the show will begin in November, when she thanked fans for their “patience” and revealed that priority will be given to existing ticket holders.

Alongside a show poster, she wrote: “Words cannot explain how ecstatic I am to finally announce these rescheduled shows. I was really devastated that I had to cancel them.

“But after what feels like an eternity of figuring out the logistics for the show I really want to deliver, and knowing it can happen, I’m more excited than ever!

“Now I know it was a terrible decision on my part for some of you, and I will always regret it, but I promise you it was the right one.

“Being with you every week in such an intimate space is what I’ve been looking forward to the most and I’m going to give you the very best of myself.

Thank you for your patience, I love you ♥️ Adele.

Meanwhile, Adele looked incredibly glamorous in her latest music video, in which she drifted wistfully along a river sipping rosé while shirtless men frolicked in the water around her.

The song comes from Adele’s latest album 30, which she released at midnight on November 19, 2021.
