Adele postpones Vegas concert series

Adele postpones Vegas concert series

Social Share

Adele has postponed her entire Las Vegas residency, just 24 hours before the opening night.

“I’m so sorry, but my show ain’t ready,” the star told fans in a tearful update on Instagram.

“Half my team have Covid and it’s been impossible to finish the show,” she said, adding that “delivery delays” had also played havoc with her plans.

She was due to play the first of 24 planned shows at the Caesars Palace’s Colosseum on Friday, January 21.

Announced late in November, the Weekends With Adele series was scheduled to have the singer performing two shows every weekend until April.

Tickets ranged from US $85 to $685, and Adele was forecast to make more than £500 000 per show.

They would have been her first live concerts in five years. Along with two dates in London’s Hyde Park this summer, they are the only shows she has announced to promote her blockbuster fourth album, 30.

Speaking on Instagram, Adele said she had been “awake for 30 hours” trying to rescue the production, but she had simply “run out of time”.

“It’s been impossible to finish the show,” she added. “I can’t give you what I have right now and I’m gutted.” (BBC)

Adele cancels shows in Las Vegas residency 24 hours before first concert

Adele has canceled her Las Vegas residency, less than 24 hours before her first show was scheduled to take place.

The British superstar took to social media last night to announce the devastating blow, tearfully apologizing to fans for the letdown in a self-recorded video.

The 33-year-old explained that Weekends with Adele, which was supposed to kick off tonight at Caesers Palace’ iconic Colosseum in Las Vegas, has officially been postponed due to Covid-related delays.

The glitzy residency was to mark the Grammy-award-winner’s return to live concerts after a nearly six-year hiatus, as well as her first chance to perform the new material from the Adele 30 album to her legion of adoring fans.

The Easy on Me singer delivered the heartbreaking news to her followers on Instagram and Twitter last night, in what appears to be an unscripted message.

All dates will be rescheduledMore info coming soon💔 pic.twitter.com/k0A4lXhW5lJanuary 20, 2022 See more

“I’m so sorry, but my show ain’t ready,” she said at the beginning of the video. “We’ve tried absolutely everything that we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you.”

Unfortunately, these efforts were simply not enough to safeguard the show from the impact of the ongoing pandemic. The talented musician confessed that the residency has been “absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and Covid,” adding that, “half my crew, half my team are down with Covid.”

“It’s been impossible to finish the show,” she went on. “I can’t give you what I have right now. I’m gutted. I’m sorry it’s so last minute.”

The crushing announcement was posted at 11 pm (GMT), giving ticketholders a mere 24-hour notice of the cancellation.

“We’ve been awake for over 30 hours now trying to figure it out, and we’ve run out of time,” she said. “I’m so upset and I’m really embarrassed and I’m so sorry to everyone who’s traveled again. I’m really, really sorry.”

Adele concluded the video by promising to reschedule the dates and reiterating her apologies, before tearfully switching off the camera.

The public’s response to the announcement has been mixed, with some fans expressing their understanding of the singer’s dilemma, and others venting their frustration over the last-minute nature of the update.

Ticketholders of the first show were particularly dismayed by the news, as many had already arrived or begun traveling to the Nevada capital for the exciting evening.

“Why wait so last min to announce? I am on the plane to Vegas RN w/ my hotel booked for tomorrow’s opening night. You must’ve known the show wasn’t ready yesterday. Yes, covid, but u can cancel things 3 days b4. It’s cruel to wait 26 hrs until 1st show. Wasted and hotel money!!” one frustrated person replied to the announcement on Twitter.

“You have people who traveled to Vegas for your show! They’ve spent thousands of dollars to come see you and this is how you treat them? This is absolutely unacceptable to do to people who spend their hard earned money to see you!” another unimpressed follower tweeted.

Adele was expected to make an insane amount of money during her Las Vegas residency, with each show estimated to rake in a whopping $679,500 (£500,000). It has yet to be confirmed when the concert series will be ready to go ahead, but for now, it looks like disappointed ticketholders will just have to sit tight.

Meat Loaf once reached out to offer Adele support after she suffered the same vocal-cord injury he’d had

Meat Loaf, whose death was announced Thursday, told the Daily Mail in 2012 that he reached out to Adele about her vocal-cord injury.

Adele had surgery in 2011 to remove a hemorrhaging polyp on her vocal cord.

Meat Loaf performed a 2011 Australia tour with a hemorrhaging vocal cord, he told Billboard.

Meat Loaf once sent Adele a message of encouragement after the singer injured her vocal cords and had to undergo surgery in 2012.

The death of the singer and actor, whose real name was Michael Lee Aday, at the age of 74 was announced on Thursday evening. Known for his best-selling album “Bat Out of Hell” and for appearing in films like “Fight Club” and “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” he died with his family around him, according to a statement posted to his Facebook page on Thursday evening.

Meat Loaf told the Daily Mail in 2012 that he had sent a message of encouragement to Adele regarding an injury that both of them had suffered, a vocal-cord hemorrhage. In 2011, the “Rolling in the Deep” singer had surgery to remove a hemorrhaging polyp on her vocal cord, CBS News reported.

“My problems were similar to Adele’s,” Meat Loaf told the Daily Mail. “I actually sent her a message saying that every singer understood what she was going through.”

Adele’s 2011 surgery was successful, but in 2017 the singer had to cancel the final two shows of her tour at Wembley Stadium in London as the result of a vocal-cord injury.

Meat Loaf suffered from a similar injury, telling the Daily Mail that he had rebuffed doctors who had cautioned him about performing during an 2011 Australia tour due to the injury. In 2015, he told Billboard that he had done the tour with a hemorrhaging vocal cord and was “spitting blood every night on stage.”

Still, Meat Loaf finished the tour and completed his 2011 album “Hell in a Handbasket” on the road, which was released first in Australia and New Zealand and later released globally in 2012.

At the time of his death, he had a television show and new music in the works, Insider reported. The singer was working on a relationship reality-competition show named after his single “I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That),” as well as a four-song EP.
