Adele Cries Her Heart Out Amid Las Vegas Residency Delay, as Angered Fans Doubt Her Tears are Real

The singer was supposed to perform at the iconic Colosseum every weekend, starting from 21 January until 16 April - however, the pandemic and delivery delays forced her to reschedule the grand event at the very last moment.

Music superstar Adele burst into tears and apologised to her fans as her Las Vegas residency appears to have been postponed to COVID-19.

"We've been up against so much and it just ain't ready. I'm so sorry", the star said on social media, appearing in a tearful video. "We've tried absolutely everything that we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you".

All dates will be rescheduled
More info coming soon

"But we've been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID... Half my team, half my crew are hit by COVID. They still are and it's been impossible to finish the show".

Tickets ranged from $85 to $685, and Adele was expected to make more than $680,000 per show.

Many fans have been backing Adele on social media, expressing their love and support - while others were enraged by the sudden cancellation just a day before the event, and claimed all the crying is fake.

Honey, don't worry, these are strange times. Go Easy On Me stated to play on my radio when I watched this 🙏 So go easy on you, Girl! ❤

She isn’t tearful…. Crocodile tears. Hope that Adele compensates these people who have already spent hundreds travelling. She must’ve known last week that show wouldn’t be ready!!! Such a prima Donna

I mean for someone who has a history of cancelling last minute, charging huge amounts of money for tickets and basically stands on stage with a mic, I don’t see why she needs lavish sets 🤷🏻‍♂️ she never has before. Just put your black dress on grab a mic and sing

Well unfortunately this isn’t the first time she has cancelled. I booked tickets for my wife to see her in London a few years ago. I had to book international flights, hotels etc. cancelled on the day to late for the mrs she was already there 🤷‍♂️

I’m sorry, if you bought Adele tickets, and spent thousands on accommodation in January after the December that we had. That was your risk, it has been hell for so many people. You took that risk, and you can blame nobody else. If It paid off great, but unfortunately it did not.

There goes my birthday celebration😔While I understand the times and circumstances we are living, it’s completely unacceptable such a short notice for the ppl who had tickets for tomorrow. My tickets were for next Friday and now I’m juggling phone calls btw my airline and hotel
