Adele announcing she will not be making new music for a very very long time.

OK Ta Ta then!!!!!!

This is from someone that used to like her!

1st time fine, 2nd time yawn wow long time, 3rd time get over yourself!

I used to like her, but now find her music incredibly depressing. I saw her announceme.she is taking an indefinite break and getting all teary, pretty sure she could have financially done that years ago.

She will never beat the number of times Andy Murray announced he was retiring. It went on forever and seemed attention seeking.

00BonneMaman00 · 03/09/2024 06:40

But you seem weirdly obsessed with someone you don't like or know OP.

Maybe just stop reading about her?

00BonneMaman00 · 03/09/2024 06:34

I'm don't understand the need to announce it.
It's a bit like people saying they're leaving social media - just go!

Something about a successful woman seems to send some people in a rage....good God opyou sound unhinged. If you aren't a fan the one article I found online doesn't apply to you...its for her fans.

I really can't stand her music. And all her cockney, down to earth shtick is wearing exceptionally thin at this point.
So yeah, hopefully she'll retire and enjoy her fortunes!

This.
I'd actually forgotten all about her with the Taylor Swift/Oasis news of late.

She usually takes five years off anyway and still comes back and sells out venues, a bit like Sade
Adele probably wants to have more children
Good luck to her.

She does, shes spoken about it. She's probably pg or going to start trying.

It's the fact she's announcing it as though everyone will care as much or at all like they did after the first two Albums.

The whole for a very very long time. Yeh fuck off then.

It's risky.

There'll be a lot riding on when (or if ) she comes back

I don't get the issue

There isn’t one

just crazy fans being parasocial, if you’ll excuse the slight misuse of the word

Aquarius1234 · 02/09/2024 22:41

I'd feel gutted if id paid for her music and went to that concert to then be told in the middle of it that she wasn't gonna be making more music for years and years.

How bout let them enjoy the show first!
It's like teasing or saying now I've got all your hard earned money I'm outta here.

Edited
Show quote history

Oh my god there is no pleasing you is there.

if she’d said it at the end you’d have complained it was a bad way to end the show

if she released a statement afterwards you’d still complain about that

if she’d kept quiet you’d have said she was spending too much time away

<wanders off humming But Daddy, I Love Him> yes, it does apply here!

Coldplay often do the whole you won't be hearing from us in a long time 😴
Yet are back within 3 years .

It's tedious.

But the fans like to know if new music is coming soon or not

She’s not obliged to let them know but she wanted to

and I’m baffled why anyone has a problem with that

Wow - OP sure has some imaginary beef with Adele

I read between the lines that she perhaps would like to concentrate on family life and have children with her partner

Hmm think she does that 90% of the time anyway.
It was more about ego.

My daughter had bought tickets for the Wembley show which she cancelled at the end of her tour a few years ago, and was promised priority booking for a future show - which never happened. Don't think she has performed in the UK since then actually. I've never quite forgiven that.

Ah right not good. Think she cancelled some Vegas shows too. I assume she only decides to go with crazy high prices or not at all.
When I watched her at Glastonbury few years ago? She spent half the time chatting rubbish.

Have you seen how much people are paying for Oasis tickets or Taylor Swift naming just 2

They don't need the money either but people will pay the money.

It's not exclusive to Adele

Show quote history

Yes it shouldn't be allowed!!!

Speaking of which if anyone needs someone to go to Oasis with PM me !! That has a spare ticket at face value 1st price!! Or is looking to go but wants company...

She's a lucky bugger . And she's skinny now. Sheesh.

Aquarius1234 · 02/09/2024 18:02

You can't have your cake and eat it.

No idea what that means here

she probably wants to let fans know so they..know. Seems odd to be so annoyed by this.

Kinneddar · 02/09/2024 21:50

Aquarius1234 · 02/09/2024 18:07

I feel like Adele is on a permanent break with work holidays thrown in.
So it's always off then a quick Hello for 2 weeks.
She actually thought people would be as upset as after the 2nd wide world success album wow.

Edited

You really are un naturally over invested in this

You'd think she'd done something to hurt you personally. Very odd attitude. Very odd thread.
