No one knows what Adele will do now that her two-year Vegas residency is done — perhaps least of all Adele.
The singer told her final audience at Colosseum Theatre at Caesars Palace on Saturday night that “I will miss you terrible” and “I don’t know when I’m next going to perform again.”
“I’m not doing anything else,” she added, per fan video from the event. “I’m actually shitting myself about what I am going to do. I don’t have any fucking plans.”
Adele’s “Weekends With Adele” residency ran from November 2022 to November 2024, with two performances every week. Over the summer, she told fans she would take a break from new music when the residency concluded. On Saturday, she said “of course I’ll be back, the only thing I’m good at is singing. I just don’t know when I’m want to next come onstage.”
Also in her goodbye speech, Adele thanked her 14-year-old son, Angelo, and her partner, sports agent Rich Paul.
“To my son, I chose to do a residency mainly because I fucking hate touring,” the singer said through tears. “But I chose to do a residency so I could keep his life normal. And I did do that. But I also — I wouldn’t change it for the world, but I get to be with him on the weekends now because obviously he can’t always come. So I love you to bits. Thank you for being patient for me.”
To Paul, she added: “Thank you for always bigging me up and making me feel like I could do whatever I wanted to do. There’s been times when I’m too tired or I’m too emotionally drained … so I appreciate that.”
She then took a moment onstage to say she got “closure” over the residency’s end when Celine Dion attended the show in October. “I cried for a whole week. A whole week,” she said (both singers cried while it was happening, too). “It was just such a full-circle moment for me. Because that’s the only reason I ever wanted to be in here.”
