  Singer tells of devastation and vows to ‘nail’ the rescheduled dates that will take place later this year

  Adele has said the decision to cancel her Las Vegas residency was the “worst moment in my career” and vowed to “nail” the rescheduled shows later this year.

  Speaking seven months after the dates were cancelled, the British singer-songwriter explained why she pulled out just 24 hours before she was due on stage.

  “There was just no soul in it,” she said in an interview with Elle magazine. “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 it those things in such a controlled environment.

  “It was the worst moment in my career by far. I was so excited about those shows. It was devastating.”

  While she was embarrassed about the cancellation, she said she was also proud to have stood by her artistic needs. “The first couple of months were really, really hard. But it actually made my self-confidence grow, because it was a very brave thing to do. And I don’t think many people would have done what I did.”

  The rescheduled shows, Weekends with Adele, will run at Caesars Palace from November to March. Adele said it felt like the appropriate time in her career for the shows.

  “I think I’m right to do it now. I know I’m not like, 60 years old, and I haven’t got 20 albums under my belt. But I think my music will work in a show like Vegas.”

  The new stage is an adaptation of her design and aims to capture the intimacy she felt was missing last January. “I want to tell the story of the beginning of my career to now. I’m not gonna give too much away about it, but the show grows. It’s all about the music, and it’s really, really nostalgic. It’s gonna be so beautiful,” she said.

  Adele, 34, also gave a rare glimpse into her private life, saying she has “never been in love like this” and is “obsessed” with her boyfriend, the American sports agent Rich Paul.

  The singer, who has a son with her ex-husband Simon Konecki, confirmed her relationship with Paul in September 2021. She said she did want to get married again and have more children.

  “I’m a homemaker and I’m a matriarch, and a stable life helps me with my music. But right now, all I got in my brain is Vegas,” she said. “I wanna fucking nail it.”

  After a six-year hiatus, Adele returned to the spotlight in 2021 with her fourth album, 30, launching it with a TV special, An Audience With Adele, recorded at the London Palladium.

  It was filmed in front of an A-list audience, with guests including Dame Emma Thompson, Jodie Comer, Samuel L Jackson, the Years and Years star Olly Alexander and Boy George.

  It followed her interview with the American chatshow host Oprah Winfrey for a two-hour special, which was broadcast on CBS the week before.

  Adele is "very proud" she rescheduled her first Vegas residency

  The singer says the original show, which she cancelled last-minute in January, had "no soul"

  If there’s anyone who knows how to put the intoxicating combination of love and loss into words, it’s Adele. Over the course of her career, she’s waxed poetic about divorce, getting sober, and raising her son—bittersweet tapestries of hard choices, low moments, and ultimate growth and wisdom. Now, after canceling a Las Vegas residency in January at the last minute, Adele has turned her eye to reflecting on that decision—one she says was “brutal” as they come, but one she’s “very proud” of, too.

  “It was the worst moment in my career, by far,” she tells Elle in a new interview. “By far. I was so excited about those shows. It was devastating.” Just as heartbreaking as the decision itself was the fallout after; Adele says she essentially “went into hiding” from paparazzi and, frozen with guilt, paused all promotions for her critically acclaimed newest album 30.

  “The first couple of months was really, really hard,” she said. “I was embarrassed. But it actually made my confidence in myself 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 myself for standing by my artistic needs.”

  No matter how painful the decision was, Adele’s certainty that she made the right call also stems from a high bar for authenticity in her work, one her longtime tour manager Jonathan Dickson speaks to, sharing: “For her to go out and perform a show she’s not happy with would be a lie to the fans.”

  Adele herself recalls feeling that the ambiance and setup of the original show just didn’t capture her vision. “There was just no soul in it,” she says. “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 it those things in such a controlled environment.”

  Since the cancellation, Adele has rescheduled the shows, which will run at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace from November through March 2023. The new series, she says, will trace her career from its early beginnings in her teen years to now, and foster the intimate, personal environment she’s been seeking.

  “I’m not gonna give too much about it, but the show grows,” she says. “The show grows. It’s all about the music, and it’s really, really nostalgic. It’s gonna be really beautiful.”
