Adele Postpones Her Vegas Residency Due To Health Issues
Adele accepts Best Pop Solo Performance for “Easy On Me" onstage during the 65th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 05, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.
Adele has postponed all dates on her Las Vegas residency through March due to recurring health issues. The “Easy On Me” singer announced on her social media platforms late Tuesday (February 27) that five “Weekends with Adele” events at The Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace would be rearranged for a later date, while she was given no choice but to follow “Doctor’s orders” and rest.
Posting a note explaining the inconvenience to her fans, Adele’s statement read: “Sadly I have to take a beat and pause my Vegas residency. I was sick at the end of the last leg and all the way through my break.” She admits she “hadn’t quite gotten the chance to get back to full health before the shows resumed.” So now she has fallen sick again, the singer-songwriter says it has all “taken a toll on my voice.” The Grammy winner added that the next five weeks are being postponed from March 1st to the 30th. She assured her fans that her team is already working out the details and will provide further information as soon as possible.
However, Adele’s postponement had some fans angered by the delay. As we previously reported, Adele’s Vegas residency was delayed in January 2022 due to Covid-19-related delays. Her show was pushed to November of that year until March 2023, with the second leg of her residency ending in November 2023. The singer extended her time at the Caesars for a third leg, telling fans it was “not enough,” and has dates for shows in May and June still listed online. Prices for tickets are still available for those dates for more than $1,000.
One fan slammed the English singer, commenting on her Instagram post: “Adele f-s over her fans again out of sheer laziness and excuses. All those people who work hard and booked vacations to see her now getting screwed.” Another fan said, “The people saying ‘to the fans crying about their tickets blah blah blah’ obviously didn’t spend thousands on a ticket lol you’d be crying if it was your money and your dream to see her live too.”
The 5 Most Anticipated, Highest-Priced Concert Tours of 2024
As we kick off 2024, many of our favorite musicians are planning to hit the road once again. Some are continuing their tours from last year, expanding dates in cities that have sold out and filling up stadiums for their ever-devoted fans. Gametime has released new data highlighting the most anticipated concert tours of the year based on average ticket price — and some of the numbers are astounding. It is no surprise that the highest-priced tours belong to Taylor Swift and Adele, as we’ve covered their past ticket prices being thousands of dollars.
Swift’s Eras Tour shows last three-and-a-half hours as she covers all aspects of her career, from country to pop to indie. With her two “surprise songs” each night, fans are always eager to find out what songs she’ll choose for that segment. On top of that, her timing is impeccable for fans “itching for a post-pandemic live music immersive experience.” Another factor is how much Swifties appreciate Taylor’s dedication to her craft: writing all her songs and reclaiming ownership of all of her music by re-recording her discography. Fans have also been buying and streaming the new versions of her old songs and the bonus tracks on her re-recorded versions of her albums. Her tour is expected to pass $1 billion in sales by this March and if that happens, the singer-songwriter will make history.
Then there’s Adele, whose Las Vegas residency, Weekends With Adele has reached the finale. With 32 dates, the English singer-songwriter will be at The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace from January to June. Known for spending time chatting with her fans and making her way down to the audience, the candid moments during Adele’s residency has become well-documented on social media, showing the fun times fans have to see her.
