Singer Adele has addressed her recently cancelled Las Vegas residency, weeks after saying it was due to difficulties surrounding coronavirus.
The Easy On Me songstress shared a tearful video with fans just one day before she was set to take to the stage at Ceaser’s Palace’s Colosseum for her Weekends With Adele show, claiming covid had wreaked havoc.
But days later, insiders claimed Adele, 33, was unhappy with the staging claiming she had “refused to take part” after describing a pool as a “baggy old pond”, later refusing to stand in it for her performance.
Now, the BRIT Award winner has addressed her axed shows, insisting they will take place later this year.
During a rare appearance on The Graham Norton Show on Friday (February 11), she said: “I tried my hardest and really thought I would be able to pull something together in time.
“I regret that I kept going until that late in the day.”
The mum-of-one continued: “It would have been a really half-a***d show and I can’t do that.
“People will see straight through me up on the stage and know I didn’t want to be doing it, I’ve never done anything like that in my life and I’m not going to start now.”
Addressing the rescheduling of her shows, she explained: “We are now working our a***s off, but I don’t want to announce a new set of dates until I know everything will definitely be ready.
“The sooner I can announce the better, but I just can’t in case we are not ready in time.
“It is absolutely 100 per cent happening this year, it has to happen this year because I’ve got plans for next year.”
In a startling revelation, the superstar exclaimed: “Imagine if I have to cancel because I am having a baby!”
Adding a further hint of potential plans to try for a baby with her beau Rich Paul, she told Graham: “It takes me a while to recharge, and I would like to have more children – I only just feel like I’ve caught up with my sleep from nine years ago when I had my son.”
She shares son Angelo with ex-husband Simon Konecki, who she divorced in 2021, having married and separated in 2018.
While she is notoriously private, her recent night out at London’s G-A-Y nightclub may become a more regular occurrence, sharing: “I definitely will but I am trying to make a conscious effort to stop being so anal with my privacy.
“I’m trying not to be two completely different versions of myself, it’s exhausting switching on and off.
“I will be disappearing in terms of my music, but you might see a glimpse of me now and then and I won’t be in complete hiding!”
