Fears ‘shouting’ Adele will never say Hello to Vegas shows as set is out – and slot is rebooked
WHEN she tearfully announced that her show ‘just ain’t ready’ last week, fans hoped it wouldn’t take long for Adele to rearrange her performances.
But it seems increasingly unlikely her ‘Weekends with’ residency in Las Vegas will go ahead any time soon, if at all, as her sets were seen being removed from the venue.
it comes as country musician star Keith Urban, who is the husband of nicole Kidman, announced he will now be playing weekends at Caesars Palace in late March and early April – when Adele had been scheduled to perform.
Fans have already pointed out that given the venue’s programme of events, it is possible that the earliest she will be able to perform
‘Her team were a total nightmare’
is 2023, prompting further speculation that it may never happen.
Adele postponed a run of performances just 24 hours ahead of her first scheduled show.
in a video posted on social media she blamed the delay on ‘half her crew’ being off work with Covid and on ‘delivery’ issues.
But it has since been claimed that the star – who is known for being a perfectionist and has previously cancelled live performances – had ‘butted heads’ with her set designer esmeralda Devlin.
sources in Las Vegas also claimed her team were a ‘total nightmare’ during preparations for her threemonth residency.
they said the 33-year-old and her team insisted on replacing the state-of-the art sound system at the venue’s Colosseum theatre with their own and also demanded that they install an entirely new video system.
Yesterday the new York Post also claimed the singer had been unable to get through a single rehearsal in the month leading up to her scheduled opening as she was frequently ‘shouting and sobbing’ on the phone to rich Paul, her sports agent boyfriend.
A source told the paper: ‘Adele’s been crying and couldn’t get through a single full rehearsal for the past month.
‘Just constantly on the phone with rich… loudly shouting and sobbing. she has barely rehearsed because she is constantly in the middle of an emotional shootout.’
scott roeben, the Las Vegasbased journalist for Casino.org who broke the news of the star’s residency, told the publication Vegas insiders are increasingly worried that Adele will cancel the concerts for good.
He said: ‘there are rumblings that there are stresses related to Adele’s relationship. i’m told that these stresses caused her to be in a place where she was just not confident moving forward. You can’t focus if you’re not where you need to be in your head.’
