Adele has said she'd be fine if she never performed again
The 28-year-old star comes to the end of a 107-date world tour in November, but is clearly fed up.
Speaking to Vanity Fair Adele said: “I’d still like to make records, but I’d be fine if I never heard [the applause] again.
“I’m on tour simply to see everyone who’s been so supportive. I don’t care about money.
“I’m British, and we don’t have that… thing of having to earn more money all the time.”

Adele has had a son with her partner Simon, but has developed postnatal depression
If Adele quits touring to focus on studio albums she’d be following in the footsteps of The Beatles.
The band played their last live concert in San Francisco in August 1966 before calling it quits.
Apart from one unannounced performance on the rooftop of the Apple building in 1969, they never played live again but continued to produce several albums.
Adele added: “All of my relationships are more important to me than any tour I’ll ever do."
She continued: “If my relationship with [partner] Simon or my relationship with [son] Angelo started to flounder a bit now, I would pull out of my tour.
“My life is more important to me than anything I’m doing because how the f*** am I supposed to write a record if I don’t have a life?
“If I don’t have a real life, then it’s game over anyway.”
Adele has also opened up about the postnatal depression she’s had since having her son in 2012.

Adele said she has really struggled in adjusting to motherhood.
She admitted: “I was obsessed with my child. I felt very inadequate.
“I’m enjoying touring, but at times I feel guilty because I'm doing this massive tour, and even though my son is with me all the time, on certain nights I can't put him to bed.
“I never feel guilty when I'm not working. You're constantly trying to make up for stuff when you're a mum. I don't mind, because of the love I feel for him.”
