After a long saga of Covid-related delays and other issues building up to her residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Adele was forced to postpone her concerts with a message to her fans stating that the show wasn’t ready. The message was released just a day before the show and clearly took its toll on both Adele and her fans. But now the highly anticipated ‘Weekends With Adele’ have been rescheduled. Starting from the 18thof November 2022 to the 25th of March 2023 there will be a further 8 shows to the roster making a total of 32 performances.
As stated on her official site; “Access will be limited with priority given to fans who held tickets for the original show dates or had previously registered and been waitlisted for the ‘Weekends With Adele’ Verified Fan Presale.” Further information on dates and tickets can be found here.
In a message to her fans via social media, Adele said; “Words can’t explain how ecstatic I am to finally be able to announce these rescheduled shows. I truly was heartbroken to have to cancel them. But after what feels like an eternity of figuring out logistics for the show that I really want to deliver, and knowing it can happen, I’m more excited than ever! Now I know for some of you it was a horrible decision on my part, and I will always be sorry for that, but I promise you it was the right one. To be with you in such an intimate space every week has been what I’ve most been looking forward to and I’m going to give you the absolute best of me. Thank you for your patience, I love you, Adele.”

When appearing on The Graham Norton Show, Adele commented; “I tried my hardest and really thought I would be able to pull something else together in time, and that was why it was so last minute,” she said. “I regret that I kept going until that late in the day. But it just wasn’t ready. It just would have been a really half-arsed show, and I can’t do that. People will see straight through me, up on stage being like, ‘She doesn’t want to be doing this.’ And, I’ve never done anything like that in my life. I’m not going to start now, you know? I’m obviously gutted.”
When asked why she couldn’t allow the shows to go on as planned despite the setbacks, Adele said: “I’m not going to try do a stadium show in a theatre – but it’s Vegas. It can’t just be me on my fucking guitar.”
