More backstage drama about Adele’s canceled Vegas show leaks and OMG it sounds like a mess
Yesterday, we reported on the alleged, backstage drama leading up to last week’s sudden cancelation of Adele’s hotly-anticipated Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace.
As disappointed fans continue to question what to do with those plane tickets they’ve already booked to see the show, new details about the last-minute cancellation are emerging.One source previously told The Daily Mail that the singer had engaged in a protracted fight with set designer Esmeralda Devlin, who had previously designed her 2016 tour.According to another insider who spoke with The Sun, Adele was furious about a swimming pool stunt intended for the show and refused to take part in it.“When she saw the finished design, she refused to take part.
Adele described the pool as a ‘baggy old pond’ and refused, point blank, to stand in the middle of it,” the source said.“The intention was to fill it with water on the set as she was lifted up on a crane-type mechanism, creating the illusion she was floating on water.”In a tearful video to fans, Adele cited the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic as a reason the show wasn’t ready, but many have observed that Caesars Palace made no note of Covid in it’s cancelation announcement.“It’s been impossible to finish the show.
I can’t give you what I have right now,” she said. A post shared by Adele (@adele)The swimming pool story also fits with The Daily Mail’s reporting about ongoing clashes between the singer and set designer.“In spite of the set costing millions to put together, Adele was unhappy with the result, and she made her feelings very clear to Es,” a source told the outlet.
