Earlier this week, Adele broke down in tears in an online video as she told fans that she’d been forced to postpone her upcoming Las Vegas residency hours before she was set to go on stage.
Addressing her 27.1 million followers on Twitter, she revealed one of the main reasons to delay her 24 gigs – together called Weekends With Adele – was due to the delays impacted by the coronavirus.
Since making the announcement, The Rolling In The Deep star has been met with some major backlash with fans fuming.
Tickets to see the Someone Like Your chart-topper perform in Caesers Palace had been sold for up to £20,000.

Many fans from across the pond were furious after highlighting that they should’ve had more notice.
One dissatisfied ticket holder said: “We took time off work, paid for hotel and flights. We’re here in Vegas for the show and now we have nothing. Refunding us for our hotels and flights would be great . . .”
Another added: “Seriously? Postpone if you need to, that’s fine — but 28 hours before? I flew in this morning. Are you going to refund me my flight, hotel, and the rapid Covid test that was mandatory? This is so f***ed up.”
Some of Adele’s loyal legion of fans did show empathy but wished the star hadn’t of waited until the last 24 hours.
One penned: “I’m not trying to make you feel worse, but we are normal people. I just don’t understand how/why you couldn’t let us know a week ago.
“Most hotels have a 72-hour cancellation policy. I was told I will be charged the full amount.”
It has been reported that the show’s production was unaware of the announcement, with many feeling defeated after months of hard work.
A source said: “Many of them were told just minutes before Adele’s announcement went out that all their hard work had been for nothing.”
In the apology, Adele started with: “Hiya, listen, I’m so sorry but my show ain’t ready. We’ve tried absolutely everything that 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.”
She promised fans that she would re-schedule all of the dates.
New dates for her Las Vegas residency are yet to be released.
