Adele explains why she's retiring "Chasing Pavements" after Munich residency

As well as pausing the show to screen the women's 100m final live from the Olympics, she performed "Chasing Pavements" for the first time in almost a decade, and explained why she planned on never playing it again.

“The reason I don’t sing this song very often — and I shan’t sing it again after this Munich residency — is because the way I pronounce the words in this song when I was 19 years old, I sound like I’m 19 years old,” she explained to the crowd. “And when I sing it now I still sound 19 years old and it annoys me. But I’m gonna do it for you because I love you and again the Germans have always been very, very loving towards this song. But I’m only going to do it if you do it with me!”
