The British musician Adele addressed her fans on Friday (January 21, 2022) with an emotional video: With tears she explained that her planned concert series in Las Vegas – which was originally supposed to start the following day – unfortunately had to be postponed . The reasons she gave were “delivery bottlenecks” and Corona. “Half of my crew and team is sick with Covid and it was impossible to complete the show,” the singer said in the video. But according to one Research by the British tabloid “Daily Mail” should this statement not correspond entirely to the truth.
Adele’s team insisted on a completely new sound and video system
Las Vegas-based journalist Scott Roeben, who broke the story of her stint, said, “Apparently Adele and her team refused to use the Colosseum’s in-house sound system.” The sound system is a state-of-the-art sound system, and a gigantic one Video screen equipped with the latest technology. According to Roeben, however, Adele’s team insisted on a completely new system – even though the system had already been used by stars such as Celine Dion and Madonna for their performances. “Such requirements not only drive up production costs, but are a recipe for disaster at a time when supplies are disrupted – in this case, delays or last-minute cancellations,” says the journalist.
“Unfortunately, it sounds like one of those factors is a diva”
Scott Roeben continued, “It is reported by those familiar with the situation that Caesars Palace was ‘100 percent prepared for it.’ So there were other forces at work here.” He added, “Unfortunately, it sounds like one of those factors is a diva.” It’s not clear whether the statements are true, or whether they are entirely rumours. What is certain, however, is that Adele has been known for years for her perfectionism and stage fright when performing.
