People who attended the chart-topper's first
"Weekends with Adele" show at Caesars Palace said they were
thrilled to finally see the Grammy-winning singer live on stage
and seemed to forgive her for the postponement. The audience
greeted her with a standing ovation.
"Thank you for coming back to me," the singer said, according to
video posted on social media.
Fans in the crowd said the show felt intimate and they were
moved by her performance of hits including "Hello" and "Easy on
Me".
"I SWEAR ADELE JUST PUT ON ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS IVE EVER
WITNESSED IN MY LIFE," one Twitter user wrote.
The British singer faced a backlash in January, when in a
tearful video she apologised to fans saying she could not
perform the shows as half her crew was sick with COVID-19 and
the pandemic had caused delivery delays.
She said her team had "tried absolutely everything" but it had
"been impossible to finish the show". The concerts were due to
begin the next day and some fans were making their way to Nevada
when they got the news.
On Thursday night, the singer-songwriter shared a picture of
herself on Instagram during a rehearsal against a backdrop of
childhood photos.
"I’m highly emotional, incredibly nervous but can’t sit still
because I’m so excited ... I always get scared before shows, and
I take it as a good sign because it means I care and means I
just want to do a good job," she wrote.
The 34-year-old Briton is scheduled to play in Vegas through
March.
Known for ballads about heartbreak and nostalgia, Adele made her
musical comeback last year with her fourth studio album "30",
which soared to No. 1 on music charts around the world. It is
nominated for the coveted album of the year award at the 2023
Grammys.
