Taking to her Instagram just a few hours before the show went live, the singer tearfully said, "I'm sorry but my show ain't ready, we have tried absolutely everything we can to put it together in time and good enough for you but we have been absolutely destroyed. Half my team and crew have tested positive and it's been impossible to finish the show."

Adele said that she and her team had been awake for 30 hours trying to figure out a way but they had 'run out of time'. She said, "I'm sorry, it's last minute. I'm so upset and I'm really embarrassed and I'm so sorry to everyone that's travelled again. We're going to reschedule all the dates, we're on it right now. And I'm going to finish my show. I want to to get it to where it's supposed to be [but] we've been up against so much and it just ain't ready." 

Several concertgoers took to social media and expressed their disappointment and claimed that they had already reached the location and asked why the singer waited so long to make the announcement. The shows were scheduled to take place at Caesars Palace's Colosseum in Las Vegas from January to April.
