Adele on Postponing Las Vegas Residency: It 'Made My Confidence Grow'

Adele's journey to perform her 'Weekends With Adele' residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for fans has been a long and arduous one. The "Easy on Me" singer was forced to postpone the series of performances just days before she was supposed to take the stage in January.

"I'm disgusted - I'm sorry, this is so last minute; we've been awake for over 30 hours trying to figure it out, and we're out of time," Adele said in a post. instagram video in tears. announcement on January 20, detailing how half of its crew struggling with COVID and supply chain issues had created insurmountable obstacles to putting on a perfect show.

Although Adele was mortified, her decision would upend the travel plans of countless fans, but hosting a below-average show was not an option. "There was just no soul in it," she said. "The stage setup wasn't right. It was very disconnected from me and my band, and it lacked intimacy. And maybe I tried too hard to give him those things in an environment also controlled."

Although the postponement was one of the darkest moments of her career, Adele says she has become a more confident performer through the experience. "The first two months were really, really tough," Adele said. "I was embarrassed. But it made my confidence grow because it was a very brave thing to do. And I don't think many people would have done what I did. I'm very proud of me for sticking by my side for my artistic needs." (We're sure her boyfriend, Rich Paul, is proud of her, too.)
