Just when we didn’t think Adele’s backstage Vegas drama could get any crazier, this happened…
Caesar’s Palace is in full-blown panic mode following the cancelation of Adele’s concert residency last weekend. Even worse, more details have emerged surrounding the aborted show that have both the casino resort and the singer scrambling to do damage control.In case you need a recap: Caesar’s originally scheduled Weekends with Adele to kick off last weekend as part of its rotating roster of A-list performers.
But the singer canceled the show one day before opening night, leaving fans who had already booked rooms and flights pissed.She cited “COVID delays” as the reason, though people were immediately skeptical since Caesar’s made no mention of COVID-19 or the pandemic when it announced the residency would be postponed until further notice.Shortly after that came reports that clashes between Adele and the show’s production designer were the real reason for the cancelation, including a dispute over some kind of elaborate pool stunt… or something.
