Adele has been forced to cancel her American tours, less than 24 HOURS before they were due to start as her team ‘aren’t ready’ and ‘have covid’
She announced the ‘heartbreaking news’ via her Instagram page, apologising ‘massively’ to those who had travelled to see her first live show in 5 years
In the 1 minute video, Adele sat on the floor, apologising for the ‘distress caused’, as she wiped away at non-existent tears with the help of her long white false nails

Adele also claimed she had been awake ‘30 hours’ looking ‘for a solution’, possibly explaining that she was too tired to even cry
The cockney pop star’s homemade video has already been viewed 2 million times within 1 hour, and has made national headlines
Adele was predicted to make £500,000 from the show, with £500 nicked from each audience member’s purse for entry. However these plans are now stumped as Adele, half a million out of pocket remains in one of her many luxurious American houses for the rest of the week
Despite the ‘disappointing outcome’ she sneakily managed to promote her latest single, ‘Oh My God’, by purposefully including a Christian cross in the background of the video. At points she conspicuously made sure her head did not cover this by looking into the camera.

Yes thats normal,
Cancel any Gig if Covid enters the stage.
The money paid for Tickets stays, if she performs in a few weeks
or you can ask for a refund.
Genesis the Rock Band
(with Phil Collins on Vocals only
due to nerve damage)
Had to cancel the Final Concerts as the Tech Team got Covid
and past it on.
it's not normal to cancel 24 hours before when many will already have travelled there. She would have known for a while the show wasnt ready

The forum is desperate for any traction it can get at this point. You don't even have to provide a valid source for a news article anymore just create your own.

Adele has very loyal fans , when she had damaged her vocal cords her fans still sang outside there and posted it online to show support for her ,which was nice:love: .
Adele tickets are selling for as much as £3,000 on eBay for concerts in JULY

And I expected Adele to maybe pay a little tribute to Meat Loaf, but nothing. She must have been asleep for the past 24 hours, considering she was up for 30 the day before..

That's almost a years rent to me. I know which I'd rather spend it on. Keeping a roof over my head rather than watching some ex fat girl sing, I can do that for free in many places, probably.
When you see this audience, just think to yourself, "You gullible mugs!"

I could see tears. She seemed very upset to me
The Sun reports Adele quickly cancelled because her production ‘wanted a 60 strong �� choir, and long story short, she didn’t’
The apology was filmed from a £30,000 a night suite hotel room
Adele also apparently cancelled two shows before, in 2008 and 2011, but ‘never rescheduled these’ either
The singer must have known about the choir, who ‘auditioned last month’
I wonder whether she didn’t want them because it would cost more, or genuinely , because she wants to be alone on stage

So she hasn’t refunded them?
Instead given them a £1.50 voucher for a pint of coke ?!?
And has it been disclosed what’s in the gift bag?

No refunds
Her Tickets are Valid for her April gig.
You can ask the Ticket seller for a full refund
as normal.

Had the same Tech Team problem, catching Covid.
They had started their tour but had to end it early
as Sound Engineers, they needed, were off with Covid.

Apparently Adele randomly FaceTimed concert goers and ‘offered them drink tokens’ herself, rather than some sort of big announcement
She seemed happy enough though, as seen in this pic , despite groaning that she had ‘bled and forking sweated to get the show on the road’
A white t-shirt with ‘Adele’ plainly written on it, and already CREASED, was selling for $90 in her pop up shop
https://i-dailymail-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/ii/w820/s/i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/01/22/14/53240641-10429685-image-a-120_1642860281147.jpg
She also private messages fans on Instagram to ‘apologise’, but then ENCOURAGED them to purchase her goods, with a $40 bottle of champagne being sneakily resold at $75

Imagine saving up for this, and then using your holidays from work to go to see it, and spending all that money on travel and accommodation.
Today's stars are grotesque people. Absolute disgraceful.
When Buddy Holly toured the UK he'd do about 50 shows, one each night, with travelling to those venues inbetween.
What she's done is disgusting and should really be seen as fraud and she should go to prison for a long time for conning all those people out of their money.
