Adele reveals plans to pause her musical career to focus on her education
Adele has announced that she will halt making music in 2025 to pursue a degree in English literature.
The musician claimed that earning a degree had always been a goal of hers, but that she would instead do so online and with a tutor rather than by attending a university.
According to the Daily Mail UK, Adele made this statement during a fan Q&A in Los Angeles, adding that she would have been an English literature teacher if she had not succeeded in the music industry.
The singer – who released the music video for her new song I Drink Wine on Wednesday – said she wishes she had gone to university after leaving school.
She said, “After Vegas I really want to get a degree in English Literature. If I hadn’t made it in my singing, I think I would definitely be a teacher. I think I’d be an English Lit teacher.
“I definitely feel like I use my passion of English Literature in what I do. But even though it’s not like I’d go on to get a job from my degree, I wish I had gone to university, I wish I’d had that experience.
“I won’t go to a university, I’ll do it online and with a tutor, but that’s my plan for 2025. It’s just to get the qualifications.”

She announced the new date for the show in July and thanked fans for their patience after cancelling just 24 hours before the show was to begin in January.
