It sucks. It really does. But it's entirely possible to sympathize with both the performers and the concertgoers in this situation. There isn't one true person or entity that is to blame here just to make sure some people here see this.

Yeah It seems some people here think that Adele is this a superwoman responsible for everything and everyone around her. We should differentiate between Adele the singer and “Adele” the enterprise.where she’s not at the top of the decision-making hierarchy

I really don’t wanna believe that report, but if it’s true, that’s not a good look for Adele. Hopefully, more information is released in the coming days.

That report sounds fake. Especially the February part. That ain't happening.

Whether or not that story is true, that's probably the story that Caesars Entertainment wants out there. Remember that when this whole thing first happened, the main story that leaked (perhaps by Adele's team) and caught traction was that Adele had been begging to reschedule but the promoters and ticket agencies refused. That article was probably Caesars trying to put out their version of what happened. It probably doesn't bode well for the show that Adele and Caesar's Entertainment seem to be at odds right now. I also wonder if part of the reason some of these stories coming out, that paint Adele in a bad light, has something to do with the fact that she allegedly hired non-union workers, as opposed to other performers (i.e. Lady Gaga) that used union workers. Part of what led to the downfall of Ellen Degeneres was all those stories coming out after she had bypassed her regular, union employees in favor of hiring non-union workers (with little communication to her regular employees about this) to do her show at home.

This could be an issue for her as her brand is built on authenticity. She and her team will need to navigate it carefully. Oof - now they're removing her set and have given her slot to Keith Urban. Not sure how this specific show is going to recover from this disaster.

It looks like her residency may just get cancelled altogether. The earliest she can reschedule is in 2023.
I think this has definitely damaged Adele's brand unfortunately.
Not sure what they'll do for the next few months for the album. Hopefully we'll get some televised performances. BRITS/Grammy performances or something. Maybe the third single being pushed in late spring/early summer.
It feels like any momentum the era had going has been diminished by the residency saga. Maybe "Oh My God" will manage to pick things up a bit. It's been slowly climbing on streaming services globally as it continues to get more playlist support.

Something about this feels like a career-limiting move. Like this is the moment she peaked.

I highly doubt this is the end of her career. Y’all stay doing the most as usual. There’s still time to correct the headlines and change the narrative, however, the window is getting narrow. I’m shocked her team hasn’t put more effort into getting her out in front of this more. She can’t hide at her boyfriend’s house forever.

this obviously won't end her career. but Vegas residency was a shit move to begin with, and everything that's unfolding right now is definitely going to hurt the demand for tickets, whenever she decides to play. however, I don't think anyone besides hardcore Adele fans and people on music forums cares about this that much, tbh. to the general public, she canceled her shows because of covid and cried on instagram—it is a very small chunk of her fans who actually scored tickets to the residency and were directly impacted, anyway.

Literally no one that isn't a die-hard Adele fan or knew of someone going to the residency shows seem to really care about this though. I can see this being a bigger issue pre-covid when cancellations weren't as common, but this is just one in a long list of cancellations. I mean Coldplay just cancelled huge concerts in LA. People don't bat an eye. I think the general public was also stuck with the notion that this was a covid-adjacent move. The media in large scale hasn't reported much about "the truth behind this," whether it was covid or behind the scenes drama with Adele, etc. So, I really don't think this will affect her much. Why is 2023 the earliest? Caesars is booked until then?

^I feel like that almost undoubtedly confirms that a proper tour will happen in the future. Perhaps 2023, when touring feels even more comfortable & solidified (assuming the threat of COVID continues to settle down).

I assume also because Adele has multiple engagements throughout the year coming up. ^I feel like that almost undoubtedly confirms that a proper tour will happen in the future. Perhaps 2023, when touring feels even more comfortable & solidified (assuming the threat of COVID continues to settle down). We got confirmation that Adele is meant to be in Brazil performing later this year from a tour manager. And she has the hyde park dates in the UK in summer. I assume she won't be doing a full on worldwide tour - instead it'll be like mini-tours on different contintents spread out across a few years. With big breaks in between to focus on single promotion/TV promo and just breaks for Adele. It was going to last at least until the 2023 grammys. So nice to see it'll be continuing on beyond that. Maybe they will push 4-5 singles and possibly get the target exclusive tracks added to streaming services at some point in the next 2 years?

Christ, there is a rumor going around that she cancelled because she had a fight with her boyfriend. I literally will not believe that is true, but any other excuse sounds better, possibly even her trying to go around union rules lol.

^ Yes, at least a couple sources are reporting something along those lines, though I can't attest to the veracity of them. I won't provide the links to those sources, I'll let people do the searching if they wish.
My view on this issue is drastically turning around, to something that was completely out of her control, to things that might have been entirely within her control, and mainly for petty reasons whether it was displeasure with the production setup/set design, or trouble in paradise with her boyfriend. Like, if she was completely lying about the COVID thing (which I don't think she completely was, there might have been some cases), that would be very serious to use that as an excuse. But I still feel we don't know the whole story entirely, so I feel I don't want to pass complete judgement yet.

It's not due to her boyfriend - that's just a rumour. From what it says, she's cancelling due to not wanting backlash for performing there after cancelling her residency? It doesn't make sense to me and is such a big waste of an opportunity. :( I was really hoping she would perform.

I don’t understand that reasoning either and kept looking for more explanation in the article and didn’t see any. I don’t see why anyone at the Brits would care. More likely she seems like she doesn’t want to do anything.

It looks like her residency may just get cancelled altogether. If this turns out to be the case then she'll have just f**ked a big radio competition that just happened here, because a big draw was tickets and an all-expenses-paid trip to see her in Vegas.

I may be completely off base, but something seems off to me. And like several people were ready to promote a negative narrative of Adele. We’ve seen that with almost every successful female singer in the past. Rumors spreading about someone being a diva, or too emotional or unstable or weird or spoiled bla bla bla. That always happens with hitmaking women, and I was almost expecting this to happen with Adele already. Again, I may be totally wrong, but it just smells a bit suspicious…

Obviously, this whole fiasco is not career-ending but this might be a turning point. The thing is, whether deserved or not, she kind of already has a reputation for pulling stunts like this. The fans that were hardcore enough to get tickets likely knew what they were getting into since some have already had her cancel on them like this before, but now the general public have been made aware of this. The general public might just shrug it off and take things at face value because they've never been aware of Adele doing something like this before, but they're aware now and her team should take note. The days where she could quietly get away with things like this may be gone. Hopefully, she and her team will really think things through the next time they decide to commit to something, especially if a lot of money is on the line.

I can understand her wanting to salvage her relationship. But to not keep commitments and then lie about why? That's not cool at all.
