I feel bad for Adele and her fans. She have to cancel her Vegas Residency one day before it was to start (it was to start on Friday). Some had already traveled to Vegas. But Covid, and many crew members sick, took a toll and they had to pull the plug last minute.
So grateful that Adam was able to get his Vegas Residency done before the new variant got here. Fingers crossed that things settle down soon and it looks as if they will. I'm glad QAL is not scheduled to start until the end of May. A little breathing room.

You know....if push comes to shove and you simply have no choice but to cancel....then this is the way to do it! None of that blow you off PSA stuff...a heartfelt message full of apology. Fans will be mad at the circumstances but not at Adele or her staff. That is the best you can hope for in this situation. Good for her!! |

I'm sure her fans must be frustrated, especially if you have to travel. That can get really expensive. Is she cancelling the entire residency, or just a couple of days? |

It sounds as if it over. Any artist would be truly sad for the collapse of a tour or residency, only a day or so before her first show…BUT…..did all of this happen/ come to light, just today…..no way. AGREE….I do not get the delay in cancelling, if deliveries were not arriving, half the staff out with covid….up for 30 hrs trying to think about how to move ahead…etc etc. Ok…I have never run a tour, but with all those variables collapsing….were they praying for some miracle in the 30 hrs prior to reporting the cancellation. Those given the notice EVEN A DAY OR TWO BEFORE might have helped with flights and hotel expenses for fans. When Sonisphere was cancelled and the three QAL London shows were organized, I was just sick for the fans who took out “no cancellation accommodations“ as they took a huge hit. Their plight on the site was agonizing. It was a lesson learned for many in fandom. Luckily, I had planned to make a vacation out of the Sonisphere experience. I stayed for my planned, 11 days, but did not change my return flight which gave me just one show. Big regret, at the time, thinking this was going to be the “one and only group of QAL CONCERTS” but as time went on…I HAVE CAUGHT QAL TOUR CONCERTS many times….lol! |

Stampsgal, I was confused about that too...the way she sounded, the coordination of this show had been a mess for a while, and not just because of Covid, so I don't understand why it was cancelled at the last possible minute. Of course, I read somewhere else that she was supposed to make about $2 mil per show, so maybe she was hoping for a last minute miracle lol.
Reading some of these nightmare concert issues, makes me so glad I don't have the $$$ to travel...honestly. I would be totally sick if I had spent that much $$ to see an artist and then it got wasted because of a cancellation.
