Adele sparks excitement for BST Hyde Park gigs

Her much-anticipated Las Vegas residency is still on hold much to the anger of her fans after she tearfully canceled shows in January.

But Adele excitedly went ahead with plans for her upcoming shows in London at the BST Hyde Park Festival as she shared a sneak peek from her rehearsals for the highly-anticipated show.

The 34-year-old singer donned a casual ensemble in the Instagram photos shared on Thursday as she belted out a song during a workout.

To make sure she stayed hydrated while singing, Adele had a large bottle of water and a hot drink on hand.

Keen to drum up excitement for her rare live performances, Adele asked in her caption: “Who’s ready for tomorrow!?”

And while many of her fans were excited at the prospect of seeing her perform her biggest hits live, there were still plenty of others who were disappointed by the lack of information about her Vegas shows.

Adele took to Instagram again last week to talk about her Hyde Park show as she said it would “blow” her fans.

She shared a photo of herself alongside Mahalia, Gabrielle, Kacey Musgraves and Tiana Major9, who will also be performing in Hyde Park on the same day.

Alongside the post, she wrote: ‘The line up for my shows in Hyde Park next week will blow your socks off!!

“An all female bill from the new artists I’m obsessed with to the heavenly @spaceykacey to one of my favorite artists of all time @gabrielleuk who I’ve loved since I was 4!!

Anger: Adele angered her fans last week after sharing her excitement for her upcoming concert in London but keeping mum about her postponed Las Vegas residency

“It’s going to be amazing, there’s a whole bunch of us performing all day, I can’t wait to share the main stage with you ladies.”

But her disgruntled fans were quick to take to the comments section to question the Hello hitmaker about her Las Vegas residency, which has been hit by a series of delays.

Weekends with Adele was set to kick off at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas on January 21.

But a day before it was to begin, Adele announced she would postpone the 12-week residency, citing the COVID-19 pandemic as a mitigating factor.

The last-minute cancellation left many fans out of pocket after spending thousands on tickets and airfare to see her on stage.

Excitement: Along with the post, she wrote: “The line up for my Hyde Park shows next week will blow your socks off!!”

One person wrote in the comments: “Are you kidding me? And you’re still silent about Vegas? I am disappointed from you.

Another fumed: “YOU COMING TO LAS VEGAS OR NOT?”

A third wrote: “Damn Adele, so I guess they’re the ones who bought tickets to Las Vegas.”

While a fourth added: “What happened to Vegas? lmao’

And a fifth said, “What about the residence dates????”

Irritation: But her disgruntled fans quickly took to the comments section to question the Hello hitmaker about her Las Vegas residency, which has been hit by a series of delays

Her much-anticipated residency was hit by more delays as Caesars Palace – where she is due to play – was reported to have cut staff over the summer.

According to The Sun, theater workers at the Nevada hotel, casino and entertainment complex have been told to “go home” by September.

The proposed move puts Adele’s much-anticipated concerts – which she claims “must happen” this year – into doubt, with Rod Stewart set to begin his run at the venue at the end of September.

The publication said union representatives representing staff at The Colosseum – Caesars Palace’s main entertainment venue – had confirmed that members had been asked “to go home until September”.

Oh no! Her much-anticipated residency was hit by more delays as it was reported that Caesars Palace – where she is due to play – has cut staff over the summer

And with Rod set to visit the Coliseum in September and amid recent hints from Adele, 34, that she wants to have a baby in 2023, it looks likely that fans will be waiting longer to see the Chasing Pavements hitmaker perform.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Adele and Caesar’s Palace for comment.

It was previously thought a slot had been secured for her to sing her biggest hits at The Colosseum, with Keith Urban finishing his own residency on June 18 before Rod Stewart kicks off on September 23.

New location? It was recently reported that the concerts, originally set to take place in January 2022, could be moved to the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood, with Adele and her team saying they are in “serious talks” about finalizing the venue

Addressing the issue in February, a source told The Sun: “That’s the timetable that would make the most sense.

“Talks are currently ongoing and we hope that Adele’s rearranged dates will be agreed very soon.”

“She made it clear that next year is not an option and everyone wants to lock in the dates.”

It was recently reported that the concerts, originally set to take place in January 2022, may be moved to the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood, with Adele and her team saying they are in “serious talks” about finalizing the venue.

However, there is no word on whether the new venue has been secured, with Planet Hollywood said to have already lined up shows in the run up to Christmas with performances by John Legend, Miranda Lambert and Shania Twain.
