“I was sick at the end of the last leg and all the way through my break,” Adele expressed in her statement, detailing her struggles with health issues. “I hadn’t quite gotten the chance to get back to full health before shows resumed and now I’m sick again, and unfortunately it’s all taken a toll on my voice.”

Citing doctor’s orders, Adele emphasized that she has no choice but to prioritize rest and recovery, leading to the postponement of the remaining five weekends of her Las Vegas residency. She assured fans that efforts are underway to reschedule the affected shows and promised to provide updates as soon as possible.

Expressing her love and gratitude to her fans, Adele conveyed her apologies for the inconvenience caused by the sudden change in schedule. Her announcement comes as a disappointment to fans who were eagerly awaiting her performances at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

This is not the first time Adele has faced challenges with her Las Vegas residency. Originally slated to begin in January 2022, the residency faced delays due to COVID-19-related issues, with Adele revealing the setback just one day before the scheduled kickoff. Despite her disappointment, she remained committed to delivering an exceptional experience to her audience.

After rescheduling, “Weekends with Adele” finally commenced in November 2022, drawing praise from fans and celebrities alike. The residency gained widespread attention, with notable guests such as Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, and Lady Gaga attending Adele’s performances.
