“So this is it. After 15 months on the road and 18 months of 25, we are at the end. We have taken this tour across UK+ Ireland, throughout Europe, all over America and I finally got to go to Australia and New Zealand too. Touring is a peculiar thing, it doesn’t suit me particularly well. I’m a real homebody and I get so much joy in the small things. Plus I’m dramatic and have a terrible history of touring. Until now that is! I’ve done 119 shows and these last 4 will take me up to 123, it has been hard out an absolute thrill and pleasure to have done. I only ever did this tour for you and to hopefully have an impact on you the way that some of my favourite artists have had on me live. And I wanted my final shows to be in London because I don’t know if I’ll ever tour again and so I want my last time to be at home. Thank you for coming, for all of your ridiculous love and kindness. I will remember all of this for the rest of my life. Love you. Goodnight for now.” — Adele, explaining in an Instagram post why she will likely never tour again.

No great loss there! She’s overhyped and common! Yawnsville
topsyturvy
She speaks well of you.
JoeyRamone
Lol. “Common”?! A good day for you: Getting dressed as Scarlet O’Hara and sitting on a rickety porch drinking tea from used tea bags.

She’ll do a residency in Vegas or maybe 60 days at Wembley. That way the mountains can come to Mohammed and she can sleep in her own bed and take her kid to school every day.

I love Adele but she is full of crap. I think it’s just nervous energy prompting her to say this stuff. And that jag about how Beyoncé won the Grammy and not her…..cringeworthy. I think she’s shy and trying to be all modest but it comes off as phony.

These entertainers and singers need to some saying things like this, because 9 times out of 10 we find that it’s not true. She’s been touring for two years. Just say, “It’s been great, but now I’m going to take a little break. I’m tired.” They always say it’s their final tour and that’s that, then they come back. As evident in the comments, no one buys that anymore. Empty words.

She’s probably just trying to sell tickets to her final shows by pretending it’s her last show. Cheap marketing ploy
Glynn
No!………..the final shows were sold out……………before she sadly lost her voice and had to cancel them.

@Glynn
I don’t know. I Googled it before I wrote that comment and seen tickets were for sale. Now she can probably issue refunds for the canceled dates, reschedule and charge more
JoeyRamone
What little plays you have running in that birdbrain of yours. What a joy to be you!

When the money starts to dry up she’ll be off and touring again.
JoeyRamone
With the tens of millions albums sold, and still selling, I doubt the money will dry up anytime during her lifetime. It’s not like she’s a playboy rapper running w a posse.
But she’ll perform again. She’s young.

Musicians make more money from touring than from album sales
Glynn
@mhoffman953
Make your mind up! your latest comment somewhat deflates your previous one. Why would Adele cancel the concerts if she earns more money from touring than from album sales?
Yes she has earned a huge amount from touring and album sales – she’s also earned way more because she writes her own material and earns money every time her songs are played on the radio/streamed/used in a tv commercial.
She’s damaged her voice – so she cancelled her last two concerts – simply as that.

@Glynn
I don’t see where you claim my mind isn’t made up. I stated that her letter was to sell more tickets by acting as if it’s the final time you’ll see this lady perform. Then, if true, her voice gets damaged unexpectedly and she has to cancel – thus offering refunds, but I’m sure she’ll reschedule these dates at a later date and charge more money.

So many ridiculous comments on this thread. Why is everyone so jaded not to mention ill informed.
