Superstar Adele has shocked fans by pulling the opening shows of her much-anticipated new Las Vegas residency just one day before it was due to open.
The singer, whose fourth album 30 is riding high in the charts worldwide, made the tearful announcement via Instagram today, just over 24 hours before the first show was due to take place.
She explained that the residency, first announced last November, "wasn't ready" due to Covid and other production delays.
"I'm so sorry, but my show ain't ready. We've tried absolutely everything that we can to pull it together and have it ready in time for you, but we've been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and Covid," she began, her voice shaking.
