Adele recently announced that she is postponing her “Weekends with Adele” Las Vegas residency through March due to an undisclosed illness. The Grammy award winner shared on social media that she had been sick at the end of the last leg of her residency and throughout her break. Unfortunately, she had not fully recovered before shows resumed, leading to her falling ill once again and affecting her voice.
This is not the first time Adele has had to postpone her residency. Originally scheduled to kick off in January 2022, the start of “Weekends with Adele” was delayed due to COVID-19-related issues. Adele explained on social media that half of her crew and team were down with COVID-19, making it impossible for her to put on the show as planned. Despite her disappointment, she expressed her apologies for the last-minute change.
After the initial postponement, Adele announced rescheduled shows and officially began her residency in November. The singer surprised fans by adding 34 new dates starting in November 2023, with an additional 32 shows in October 2023 that extended her stay in Las Vegas into June of the following year. “Weekends with Adele” garnered praise from fans and celebrities alike, with guests such as Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, and Lady Gaga in attendance.
During a December 2023 interview, Adele revealed her self-critical nature when it comes to her performances. She admitted to being tough on herself and feeling like she was not delivering her best during her shows. Despite the praise from fans and fellow celebrities, Adele’s perfectionist tendencies led her to doubt her own abilities on stage.
Adele is expected to return to the stage on May 17, but she has not yet announced new dates for the postponed shows. Fans eagerly await her comeback and hope for a full recovery so that she can continue to captivate audiences with her powerful voice and emotional performances.
Adele’s decision to postpone her Las Vegas residency shows a commitment to her health and well-being. Despite facing challenges with illness and setbacks, Adele remains dedicated to delivering exceptional performances for her fans. As she takes the time to rest and recover, supporters eagerly anticipate her return to the stage and the continuation of her successful residency in Las Vegas.
