Adele breaks down in tears at Las Vegas residency over 'terrifying' ordeal

Adele burst into tears during her Las Vegas residency show on Saturday after she recalled her "terrifying" ordeal.

Ending her string of highly sought after gigs at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Sin City, the 34-year-old I Drink Wine hitmaker revealed that she stands by her decision to postpone her residency - despite it being a shot in the dark at the time.

The Easy On Me singer was meant to perform a number of shows from January to April last year at Caesars Palace but they were cancelled at short notice.

Speaking to the audience this weekend, Adele admitted: “I have been waiting for so long to get to this weekend and I didn't even realise it.

“What I haven't been able to get out of my head since the beginning of the show was that it took so long, and I was like, 'When am I ever going to say I've done my residency?'.

“And this weekend, if not for the added shows, I would have completed my residency.”

The Rolling In The Deep star continued with her sentiments, adding: “Even though I have got four more weekends left after this, I have been waiting for so long to get to this weekend.

“When I cancelled the original dates it was terrifying to do. But better late than never, and the shows have been a success.

“I knew I was making the right decision,” she revealed.

Last year, the singer announced the cancellation a mere hours before she was meant to go on stage to perform.

In a teary video message at the time, Adele admitted her shows weren't ready and said a lot of the crew had been suffering with Covid and so it had pushed back production.

After a while, Adele admitted her shows would have been "half-arsed" if they had decided to go with the original plan.
