In a stunning finale to her epic "Weekends with Adele" residency at Caesars Palace, the iconic singer has announced a break for vocal rest, leaving fans both heartbroken and grateful for the experience. On Saturday, Adele performed her final show, delivering an emotional goodbye to the adoring crowd at the Colosseum.

“I am so sad that this residency is over, but I’m so glad that it happened,” she expressed, capturing the crowd's hearts with raw sincerity. Reflecting on the tumultuous beginning of her residency, Adele recalled the challenges she faced: “It got off to such a f--ing rocky way. It was one of the worst years of my life... I was told it was career suicide, but look at us now!”

Her heartfelt sentiments resonated as she emphasized the importance of listening to one’s gut feelings: "If something doesn’t feel right to you, don’t f—king do it." Adele’s journey was not just about her career but also about personal growth, as she celebrated her accomplishments and thanked her team, fans, and especially Las Vegas for giving her a “second chance.”

She paid tribute to her 12-year-old son, who she shares with ex-husband Simon Konecki, explaining her choice to embark on a residency instead of a traditional tour. “I chose to do this because I f—king hate touring... but it allowed me to maintain a sense of normalcy for my son’s life,” she shared, struggling to contain her tears.

Adele also expressed love and gratitude to her fiancé, Rich Paul, stating, "Thank you for always picking me up and making me feel like I could do whatever I want to do." Their bond clearly plays a significant role in her life, especially during challenging times.

In a particularly touching moment, Adele recounted an emotional experience in which Celine Dion attended one of her shows, stating, “I cried for a whole week... it was such a full-circle moment for me.” This pivotal encounter reaffirmed her place in the music industry and her adoration for performing.

Now, with no immediate plans for future performances, Adele teased her fans, “Of course I’ll be back. The only thing I’m good at is singing." Despite the uncertainty of her next steps, she assured her audience that they will see her again.

Adele's residency, which began in November 2022 after facing pandemic-related delays, marked a significant chapter in her music career. Last year's announcement of a concert film for those unable to attend was yet another testament to her dedication to her fans. As she exits the stage, one thing is clear: this may be the end of her Vegas residency, but the world eagerly awaits Adele's next move.
