What caused Adele's meltdown in Vegas? Amid unsold tickets, cancellations and Covid excuses that don't stack up, it's no wonder fans who spent thousands only for her to pull out at the last minute aren't going easy on her, writes ALISON BOSHOFF
ALISON BOSHOFF: From the start of this year, rumblings had begun to circulate in Vegas. Specifically, it was said that Adele wasn't keen on any spectacular staging. She wanted it to be 'all about the voice'. Perhaps it was a sign of building anxiety. For despite this, the show was to be filled with production effects and dozens of musicians and singers. A choir of 60 singers was auditioned in early January and contracted to participate in a Skyfall opening number. Caesars Palace embarked on a complete overhaul of the dressing room originally created for Celine Dion - leading many to be convinced that Adele was in it for the long haul. Many in Vegas believed that the plan was for her to keep on with the residency until 2024, potentially netting her up to £100million - £50million from performance fees and the rest from merchandising. However gossip columnist Roger Friedman was convinced something was awry by January 18.
