Adele has shared a devastating update on the future of her career during a live show in Munich.
The 'Someone Like You' singer, 36, is currently nearing the end of a string of residency shows in Las Vegas, with last night's (31 August) performance in Munich marking her final planned concert on European soil.
During the show, Adele took a moment to give fans an update on her future career plans - revealing that she is planning to take an extended break from touring and making music.

Reflecting on her career so far, the 'Easy on Me' singer said: "I’m not the most comfortable performer, I know that, but I am very fucking good at it.
"And I have really enjoyed performing for nearly three years now, which is the longest I’ve ever done and probably the longest I’ll ever do."
The singer then went on to address what's next for her careerwise, and it turns out she's planning to take an extended break.
"I have 10 shows left after this," she continued. "After that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time.
"I will hold you dear in my heart for that whole length of my break, and I will fantasise about these shows and any shows that I’ve done over the last three years. It has been amazing, I just need a rest."

She then went on to explain the reason why she decided to take a break, adding that she wanted to spend time living the 'new life' she'd built for herself.
"I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself, and I want to live it now," she said.
"I will remember these shows for eternity, they have been spectacular."

Adele's tour was originally scheduled to end at Munich's 80,000 capacity Messe Munchen Arena, however, she had to reschedule a series of dates from her Las Vegas residency after falling ill.
Fans were quick to share their well wishes for the singer on social media, with one person writing: "Take all the time you need, live the life you’ve always been dreaming of. We’ll be here when you’re ready."
"Why am I so emotional watching this," a second fan commented, while a third added: "I'm gonna miss her."
Adele has plenty to look forward to during her extended break, with the singer previously announcing her engagement to American sports agent Rich Paul earlier at the Munich shows.

"But I appreciate it."
