After posting a tearful video through her social media channels, Britain’s most renowned singer songwriter has had to reschedule her upcoming Las Vegas residency. The performances were initially set to go ahead throughout the months of January to April where she would host performances every Friday and Saturday – aptly called “Weekends With Adele” but has now had to have been rescheduled.
Following her usual schedule, it’s only in recent months since her 30 album was released that we have heard more from the infamous singer as she took a step back from the spotlight six years ago, post her number one album ’25’ which featured hits such as “Hello“, “When We Were Young” and “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)“. During this hiatus, she continued to work on her fourth studio album ‘30‘ and deal with her rollercoaster personal life that continued to taint the pages of the often invasive UK press. From her emergence in 2008 with her first hit being “Chasing Pavements” released in 2008 and peaking at number 21 in the official UK charts, it has been evident that Adele cares deeply not only for her craft but also those that support her, her fans. Throughout the years she has performed to thousands of fans in stadium across the world, and at any opportunity she tries to engage with those in the audiences whether its giving honest advice and narrative between her setlist’s or allowing one fan to propose on her stage whilst she serenaded the happy couple (see here) – Adele remains humble by all accounts.
In the video, posted only yesterday, Adele can be heard emotionally explaining “I’m so sorry but my show isn’t ready, we’ve tried absolutely everything we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you but we’ve been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID” she then continues to express “I’m really really sorry, I’m really sorry we’re on it now, we’re gonna reschedule all of the dates.”.
All dates will be rescheduled
More info coming soon

Despite her disappointment and “embarrass[ment]” due to the situation being out of her control, the video has received over 75,000 messages of support from both fans and fellow celebs. One writes “Minor set back for a major comeback! We still love you, thoughts and prayers for you and your team” whilst Radio One presenter and close friend Greg James wrote “‘Trust the process, go with your gut, its also Friday, so its the weekend! Cheer Up! Wayyy ayyyy!’ – Adeles own advice when she was on the radio a few months ago.”
Adele is also due to perform this summer at ‘The British Summer Time‘ in Hyde Park on the 1st and 2nd of July. Tickets can be purchased here.
