Adele announced the postponement of the upcoming segment of her Las Vegas residency Tuesday and fans weren’t happy.
Adele took to social media to announce that she wouldn’t be able to proceed with her upcoming Las Vegas residency. The songstress attributed the postponement to health issues that necessitated vocal rest. The postponement sparked frustration among fans, especially those who invested in travel and accommodation in anticipation of her shows.
With the residency scheduled to conclude in June and the singer reportedly earning approximately £1.5 million (approx. $1.8 million) per performance, the stakes were high for both the artist and her fans. Fans facing the dilemma of not being able to attend the rescheduled dates are experiencing financial losses. (RELATED: ‘Get A F*cking Life’: Adele Defends Taylor Swift Ahead Of Super Bowl)
Really disappointing, was suppose to fly out tomorrow for the Friday show. Losing hundreds of dollars for last minute cancellations of everything. Hope you feel better soon, but this truly ruined our weekend and cost us so much. To not allow refunds is also veryyy sketchy. 😔

@Adele I understand not being able to control getting ill but I literally arrived in Vegas this afternoon after travelling for 32 hours to get here to find my ticket for Friday night is “postponed”. The expense and time, outside of the ticket, is something no-one is considering!

One user also pointed out that this isn’t the first time Adele postponed a show.
Adele this has become a norm. Not finishing your shows. Do better. If you’re don’t like doing plenty shows, then stop doing them.
