EXCLUSIVE ALISON BOSHOFF: Adele turns her back on potential $200mn payday to extend her world tour… to spend more time with her family

Adele concluded her Munich shows last weekend by telling fans: ‘I will not see you for an incredibly long time.’

The star added: ‘I just need a rest. I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself and I want to live it now.’ And it can be revealed that the superstar singer is as good as her word, and then some.

For I hear she turned down a ­potential $200 million payday — the biggest of her career — to extend her tour. The most lucrative part of the deal was a nine-figure sum for a long ­residency in a casino in Macau, China.

It would have been similar to her Weekends With Adele gigs at The Colosseum in Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. Those started in November 2022 and will finish on November 23rd this year, by which time the singer will have played 100 gigs — reputedly for £500,000 a show. But I am told the Macau gigs would have been ‘far better paid’.

The singer, whose hits include Rolling In The Deep and Hello, was also offered a stadium tour of Europe, Asia and South America.
