Adele has revealed she’s ‘run out of gas’ both emotionally and physically as she prepares to end her two-year Las Vegas residency.
The singer, 36, has been entertaining fans with her show, Weekends With Adele, at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace since November 2022 – with the show initially getting off to a rocky start thanks to cancellations and delays.
However, after a hugely lucrative and successful run, as well as a 10-night residency at a purpose-built stadium in Munich, Adele is ready to hang up her microphone after the vast amount of shows left her feeling ‘battered’.
In a new interview ahead of her last show on Saturday, the Hello hitmaker told how she’s ready to say goodbye to her fans for an extended period of time, with Adele looking forward to enjoying plenty of bed rest and red wine – having denied herself the latter due to the impact it has on her vocal cords.
Speaking to audience members – which included The Mirror – at one of her recent shows in Sin City, Adele said: ‘Doing four hours a weekend of completely live singing is a lot. And I chat a lot, and I’m very, very sensitive and I’m emotional. I am battered after these shows. And I take every single person on in this room into my soul, I take you home with me.’
Further emphasising how much her epic shows have taken its toll on her, Adele joked that she looks like ‘the pigeon lady from Home Alone’, quipping she sports a ‘bedraggled’ appearance as she doesn’t get home until the early hours following her weekend shows.

The superstar, who’s been taking to the stage every Friday and Saturday, added that she’s been on ‘full recovery’ every Sunday to Thursday and despite her ‘love’ for the shows, she’s now ready for them ‘to be over’.
Touching on how she feels about finally completing her epic run in Vegas, Adele shared: ‘It’s a big deal to me because it’s very, very bittersweet. But this [residency] has been in my mind for four years…four years for one f***ing idea. So I’m looking forward to having loads of spare time to love on my kids, to love on my man and to love on another kid. To love on my house’
The Hometown Glory singer added that she ‘needs’ to ‘get back to my own life’, reports the publication.
During an interaction with the crowd, Adele noted that her initial plans were simple – to enjoy a bottle of red wine which she previously avoided because it ‘f***s me up’, ‘dries out my vocal cords’ and gives her the ‘worst hangovers’.
She continued: ‘Saturday night I’m probably going to have a [lot] of red wine. So that’s the most exciting thing for when the show ends! Then after that I think I’m just going to really, really veg until the end of the year. I feel like I’m early hibernating already.’
Delving further into her idealistic plans once her residency ends, the Tottenham-born star revealed how she wants to ‘“stay in bed” and “watch lots of TV’, adding that the relaxing session always ‘comforts her’.
The beauty added that she might even set herself a New Year’s resolution and may finally have time t stick to it and take it ‘seriously’.
In July, she announced she will take a ‘big break’ from music after her run of upcoming shows.

Her run of sell-out shows at the venue, which seats around 4,000 people, has been a success but has also taken its toll.
Speaking to the crowd in Munich during her last show, she began crying and said: ‘I’ve got 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.’
Ahead of her Munich performances, she made the bombshell announcement that she does not ‘have any plans for new music at all,’ during a ZDF interview in July.
‘I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things. Just for a little while,’ she explained to the German public service broadcaster.
Adele has hinted that she has major plans to have another child during her ‘incredibly long’ career break.
The music mogul doubled down on her plans for a hiatus from music onstage earlier this month during the final night of her 10-show engagement in Munich, Germany.
It poses questions if Adele is preparing to free up space to have a baby with her fiancé Rich Paul.
She previously shared hopes to have a daughter.
She already has 12-year-old son Angelo with ex-husband Simon Konecki.

On stage at her Las Vegas residency in May, Adele told fans she wanted to have a baby ‘once she was done with all obligations and her shows’.
She said: ‘Once I am done with all my obligations and all of my shows, I want to have a baby.
‘I want a girl because I’ve already got a boy.
‘I feel like she might be like the person I love the most in the world, but also prob- ably hate the most in the world — that is what I feel will happen.
‘She’s going to put me in my place all the time, isn’t she?’
