The British superstar had been scheduled to
start a three-month residence at the Caesars Palace Hotel in
what were to be her first live appearances since 2017.
"We've tried absolutely everything that we can to put it
together in time. And for it to be good enough for you. But
we've been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID.
Half my crew, half my team are down with COVID. They still are.
And it's been impossible to finish the show," Adele said in a
video posted on Instagram.
Saying she was "sorry" eight times in a 92-second message,
especially for people who had traveled to Las Vegas for the
show, Adele said the delays prevented her from perfecting the
show to her standards and she promised to reschedule.
"I'm going to finish my show and I'm going to get it to where
it's supposed to be," she said.
The shows were to follow her latest album "30," which debuted at
No.1 in 30 countries in November.
Concert residencies in Las Vegas have become a major attraction
in the recent years for musicians who do not wish to travel
extensively.
Celine Dion, Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood, Usher, Barry Manilow
and Shania Twain are among the top acts to have recently
scheduled multiple concert dates in Las Vegas.
