Musicians are always saying that they might have just made their last record or gone on their last tour. Usually, they just mean they haven’t made any future plans yet. However, it does seem like Adele might mean it when she says she’s done with touring.

As she prepared for the first of four nights at Wembley Stadium, which will serve as the finale of her tour in support of latest album ’25’, she posted a message on Instagram saying that this may really be the last time.

“So this is it”, she began. “After fifteen months on the road and eighteen months of ’25’ we are at the end. We have taken this tour across UK and Ireland, throughout Europe, all over America and I finally got to go to Australia and New Zealand too”.

“Touring is a peculiar thing”, she continued, “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 four will take me up to 123. It has been hard but an absolute thrill and pleasure to have done [it]. 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”.

Finally, she wrote: “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”.

Don’t worry though, I’m sure it won’t be long before the allure of being carted around in a box pulls her back in.
