Adele is planning on taking a break from music and will go on to study English lit

Adele is planning on taking a break from music after completing her Las Vegas residency.

During the Los Angeles premiere of her new music video for “I Drink Wine” on Tuesday, Adele held a Q&A session with her fans and revealed what she is going to pursue next: 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,” Adele said.

“I definitely feel like I use my passion of English lit 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.”

She clarified that she would enroll in an online program and study remotely with a tutor.

Along with her degree, Adele said she would like to pursue a career in acting. She revealed that she reached out to Elvis director Baz Luhrmann and expressed a desire to work with him.

“I sent him a test saying, ‘I wish I was in this movie, please don’t retire, let me do something. But I wouldn’t sing in it. I would act, but only one movie. I’d come, do one movie, nail it, and f**k off.”

Adele’s Las Vegas residency will kick off at Caeser’s Palace on November 18. The concert had been originally postponed last minute back in January. Adele had explained at the time that it was due to delays and a COVID-19 outbreak among her team.
