The “Rolling in the Deep” songstress dropped the bombshell of the year during a concert in Munich, Germany, on August 31st. Shearts broke all over the world when Adele revealed that after her Las Vegas residency—one of the most highly publicized events in recent memory—comes to an end, she will not be returning to our living rooms via TV, nor will she be stopping by our cities via concert tour anytime soon. “I just need a rest,” she said simply, and let the speculation begin.
