Triple-Jabbed Adele Cancels Her Vegas Shows After She And Her Triple-Jabbed Crew Catch COVID

A tearful Adele has axed her entire 24-date Caesars Palace residency at the 11th hour claiming half her team has Covid and they 'ran out of time' for the show to be ready.

Fans paying between $85 and $12,000 for a ticket - or up to $30,000 on the black market - had already travelled to Las Vegas from all over the world including the UK for the opening gig tonight.

But with just 24 hours to go the British star, 33, cancelled her entire 24-night run, which was due to make her $685,000 (£500,000) per performance before merchandising - a Vegas record. The singer caused a row when she was forced to cancel her final tour dates at Wembley Stadium in London at the last minute after damaging her vocal cords. It then took more than four years to reaarange them.

'Weekends With Adele' was due to run through April in Las Vegas, with all available tickets sold out. In an Instagram post late on Thursday, a visibly upset Adele said in her strong London accent: 'I'm so sorry, but my show ain't ready', saying they 'ran out of time'.

She went on: 'We've tried absolutely everything we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you, but we've been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID. Half my crew and team are [ill] with Covid and still are, and it's been impossible to finish the show.

'I'm gutted — I'm sorry it's so last minute, we've been awake for over 30 hours trying to figure it out and we've run out of time,' she continued, as her voice started to break. 'I'm so upset and I'm really embarrassed and so sorry to everyone that traveled to get [to the show]. I'm really, really sorry.'
