It was the worst news for Adele fans. The British singer’s much-hyped Las Vegas residency came to a stuttering halt last night (Thursday 20 January), after she revealed that half her team had been struck down by Covid, and a number of deliveries had failed to turn up. In a tearful video posted to Instagram, she said she and her team had been awake “for over 30 hours” trying to figure out a solution, but had been unable to make it work. She apologised to the people who had travelled miles to see her perform at Caesar’s Palace, promising rescheduled dates would be announced soon.
“We’ve tried absolutely everything that we can to pull 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 said. “Half my crew, half my team are down with Covid, they still are, and it’s been impossible to finish the show… and I can’t give you what I have right now and I’m gutted, I’m gutted, and I’m sorry it’s the last minute.”
