The British singer concluded her impressive Las Vegas residency with an unexpected confession. 36-year-old Adele admitted that her decision to perform in one city was driven by her desire to maintain a normal life for her 12-year-old son, Angelo.
“I chose the residency, maybe because I hate tours. I wanted his life to remain normal. And I did it. Now I can be with him on the weekends because he can’t always travel with me,” Adele openly said on stage. The Rolling in the Deep singer thanked her son for his patience. “I love you to bits. Thank you for your understanding,” she said, tears in her eyes.
At the concert, she was supported by her loved ones: fiancé Rich Paul and Angelo, whom Adele raises with her ex-husband Simon Konecki. The singer warmly acknowledged Rich’s contribution to her success. “He always lifted me up and made me feel like I could do anything I wanted,” Adele said. She admitted that there were days when she felt “too tired” or “emotionally drained,” but the support of her loved one helped her keep going.
During the farewell performance, Adele was more sincere than ever. Between sips of wine and jokes, she confessed that she didn’t know what would come next. “I have no plans. Probably just going to drink during the day,” the artist said, adding that she didn’t know when she would return to the stage or release new music. “It’s time for a new chapter in my life,” the 16-time Grammy winner announced to the hundreds of spectators.
Music has also been a painful challenge for the British star: after several performances, Adele contracted a serious infection. However, she noted that she didn’t want to share the details of her personal life with the public, so she wouldn’t reveal the wedding date with Rich Paul. The couple has been together for three years.
