Adele has announced that she will be taking a break from music, after her Las Vegas residency to pursue a degree in English Literature.
The singer, who released the music video for her new song I Drink Wine on Wednesday, October 26th expressed regret that she did not attend university after graduating from high school.
Adele, 34, stated in a fan Q&A in Los Angeles seen by The Sun that she will complete an online course to obtain the degree.
‘After Vegas, I really want to get a degree in English Literature,’ she said. If I hadn’t made it in singing, I believe I would have become a teacher. I believe I would be an English Lit teacher.
“I definitely feel like I incorporate my love of English literature into what I do. But, even though it’s unlikely that I’d get a job from my degree, I wish I’d gone to university and had that experience.
“I won’t go to university; instead, I’ll study online with a tutor, but that’s my plan for 2025.” It is only to obtain the qualifications.
Adele’s Las Vegas residency will begin in November, following a last-minute cancellation in January.
The singer announced the new dates in July, months after canceling her tour with only 24 hours’ notice, leaving fans out of pocket by thousands of pounds.
Following the leak of rescheduled dates for the show, the singer took to Instagram in July to confirm the show will begin in November, thanking fans for their “patience” and revealing that priority will be given to existing ticket holders.
