Adele BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Adele’s week has been defined by a striking pivot in her iconic career as she makes headlines for stepping away from music and into the world of film. After wrapping her massively successful two-year Las Vegas residency in November 2024—a run that ended with emotional goodbyes and a promise to fans that she would be taking “an incredibly long” break from music—she is now set to make her highly anticipated acting debut. Tom Ford, renowned fashion designer turned filmmaker, has cast Adele in his new adaptation of Anne Rice’s “Cry to Heaven” alongside a lineup of Hollywood talents like Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Colin Firth, and Thandiwe Newton. According to Deadline and Hello Magazine, filming will begin in January 2026 with a planned release in fall 2026. Ford not only directs but also wrote and is self-financing this Venice-set drama about ambition, artistry, and personal transformation.

Adele has hinted at a desire for creative reinvention for over a year, telling Germany’s ZDF last summer that her “tank is quite empty” after nonstop performing, and expressing a clear intent for “a big break” and other creative pursuits. The Cry to Heaven news confirms she meant it. ABC Audio notes that Adele’s previous on-screen outings were limited to patchwork TV cameos, so this is a serious professional risk and a potentially biographically defining move.

While music fans are eager for more, Adele’s social media remains relatively subdued, echoing her stated wish for privacy and downtime. Most chatter surrounds her new film project, with speculative buzz about her potential as an actress but no credible leaks about her next album or any surprise musical activity. Industry and entertainment news outlets, including PopCulture, also report that Adele is keeping her personal life low-key, seen occasionally at London restaurants with partner Rich Paul, but not courting publicity.

Meanwhile, tribute acts like Stacey Lee’s “Adele Symphonica” in Prague and themed Candlelight Concerts in Houston highlight Adele’s deep influence on live music culture, underscoring the continued demand for her songs even as she steps away from the microphone herself.

There is no verified controversy or negative press—just intense anticipation surrounding her next chapter. “Adele Marks Bold New Chapter With Daring Career Shift” blared Hello Magazine this week, and it is no exaggeration. With one of music’s most soulful voices about to test her range on the big screen, Adele’s fans and critics alike are waiting to see if lightning can strike twice.
