Now a new report claims she turned down a bumper pay day to play more shows including stadium dates in Europe, Asia and South America and a lucrative residency at a casino in Macau, China.

A source told the Daily Mail’s Alison Boshoff: “There have been a lot of offers but she has turned them all down because she wants to be home with her kid.

“The Chinese deal put ­millions of dollars on the table, but she did not want to do it in the end. She’s put her kid and ­boyfriend – and herself – first.”

Adele is engaged to marry her sports agent partner Rich Paul and she’s also mum to son Angelo – from her previous marriage to Simon Konecki – who turns 12 in October.

The singer announced plans for a break at the final date of her Germany residency in Munich August 31, telling the audience: “I have 10 shows to do, but after that I will not see you for an incredibly long time. And I will hold you dear in my heart.”

Adele also insisted she’s not got any new music on the horizon, telling German outlet ZDF: “I don’t have any plans for new music, at all. 

“I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while.”

She previously told gig-goers at Caesar’s Palace earlier this year: “I just don’t think I’m going to write an album for quite some time.

“But next time I do, I’ll come to wherever it is you live.”

The Chasing Pavements singer also explained why she started disappearing from the limelight for long periods before releasing a new album. 

She said: “Sometimes I wonder if people think I’m calculated when I disappear for years on end and I’m elusive and I believe that less is more or something like that. But the real reason that I’ve only had four albums and I don’t think that many people know this – they know that I have a child – my son is 11 years old. 

“So if you do the math, that means that at the height of ’21’ … I fell pregnant. To many that would be, and it was, considered career suicide. 

“It was there and then that I chose to reject the scarcity of success, and the idea that you have to be constantly relevant to be successful. And that perhaps, just maybe, I could be a hit both on and off the stage. And you’ll never guess what — I … got away with it!”
