The Daily Drop

Adele cancelled ten upcoming shows on her ongoing Las Vegas residency on February 27, citing strain from a recent illness. The Weekends With Adele residency at the Caesars Palace was scheduled to run through June; it is not yet clear when or if the shows will be rescheduled. In a message posted to Instagram, the British singer said that she had been sick during the last leg of her residency, and hasn't yet had a chance to fully recover. "I hadn't quite gotten the chance to get back to full health before shows resumed and now I'm sick again, and unfortunately it's all taken a toll on my voice." At the height of her initial fame following the blockbuster 21 album, Adele was forced to cancel substantial tour dates due to a vocal cord hemorrhage in 2011, later undergoing surgery. Adele's Vegas residency kicked off in November of 2022, after being postponed for nearly a year due to the Covid pandemic. She has since extended the show's run twice, with the current spate of dates initially scheduled to wrap on June 15. It's unclear how the postponements will affect Adele's plans to stage a ten-date series of "one-off" shows in a specially-constructed venue in Munich, Germany next August. Adele announced the Munich shows in January, writing: "So a few months ago I got a call about a summer run of shows. I've been content as anything with my shows in London's Hyde Park and my residency in Vegas, so I hadn't had any other plans."
