Adele: 'I'm Quitting Music For Love'

Adele

Adele has made a career out of being broken-hearted, especially after break-up album 21 managed to scoop a whopping six Grammys on Sunday.

But now that the singer in madly in love, it appears she's set to leave her music career behind, at least for now, anyway.

The Rolling In The Deep singer has told US Vogue magazine she is set to take a "four or five year" break from music to concentrate on her love life.

"I am f***ing off for four or five years. If I am constantly working, my relationships fail," she said.

"So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy. And then I don't know what I'll do. Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch."

Adele started dating charity worker Simon Konecki last October, but news of their relationship only hit the headlines earlier this year.

And despite it still being early days, it seems like Adele believes she's found 'the one', crediting him for being the one to help her through her recovery from vocal surgery.

"He's wonderful. And he's proud of me, but he don't care about what I do or what other people think. He looks after me. I don't think I would have gotten through the recovery for my surgery if it hadn't been for him."

She also told the mag about the type of girlfriend she is, admitting she "always wants sex".

"I am attentive. I will do anything for my man. I am a good cook. I'm funny. Always want to have sex - Well, most girls don't!"

It was reported last month that the pair are set to move in together, with a source telling Heat magazine: "She spends a lot of time with him and they've been house-hunting. His work is based in Brighton, so she's looking nearby in Billingshurst, West Sussex."

So do we think Adele will really quit music for the sake of her man?

Well one thing is for certain - if she does return to the studio, we shouldn't expect another album like 21.

The singer told US news show 60 Minutes: "I can't write another break-up record, that would be a real cliche. It would just be like a boring running theme. People would be like, 'I've had enough, now cheer up.'"

The full interview with Adele appears in this month's US Vogue magazine, out now.

It's a great plan... Release an album, make a butt load of cash..and then take the time to actually enjoy life, the world, and the people you love. Makes sense to me. Wish I could do it too!

This should be updated...Adele's website refutes these comments. Way to go, HuffPo.

Geez, at least wait for a ring before you give up your career!

You didn't see the huge ring in the pictures?

Is it an engagement ring? I didn't read about that anywhere.

Where have YOU been all MY life Adele!

Good for you Adele... how many artists do we see that can't stop chasing money, popularity etc and wind up alone, miserable and irrelevant later in life (Madonna anyone?). Sadly for MUSIC fans, Adele is a TRUE artist... she sings like no one else, she actually DOES write and writes truly transcendent material vs. transient derivative pop garbage (Madonna again).

Good luck Adele... I hope we don't have to wait 4-5 years for another album, but you've already given us two timeless classics, we'll wait for the next one...

Why do you have to build one woman up by tearing another woman down?

Can't they both be brilliant in their own unique ways?

Fascinating the reaction to this news in the UK. Given how we witness another enormous voice--Whitney Houston--die as a result of an over-indulgent life driven by those who wanted a piece of her. Congrats Adelle! You have it all!

You have a really good point I didn't think about like that. On the other hand, Whitney falling in with Bobby was the beginning of a downward spiral.
05:38 AM on 02/18/2012
It just goes to show how dull our sensibilities have become over the last decade. Who knows what causes Whitney's addictive behavior to kick into high gear...BUT, we do know there was obviously a very strong co-dependent quality to her. Bobby simply filled a need in her to experience what it means to hand over one's sole responsibility to become truly happy into the hands of somebody else.

As for Adelle....she may be the same kind of person. Only time will tell if the person she has chosen to be her friend, lover, and confidante will truly allow her to love well and deeply.

I'm glad she's happy, she certainly deserves to be having sold so many copies of an album that people absolutely love. I can understand why people are unhappy that she is taking so long out having only just come back, but I think she'll be just as big in five years anyway - she has a brilliant voice.

All the best to her. There will be someone else who steps into her shoes for the time she is gone.
