The question is why cancel the whole residency —- why not few shows. This is actually not the first time it has happened, she’s done this before and so far those shows were sort of permanently canceled despite promises of rescheduling—- now this happened pre-COVID.
Her show was also only on the weekends, so if they cancelled one weekend, it would have made more sense,,

She said half her team has Covid, they haven't received deliveries.....I don't know where you live, but there's a huge shortage of labor in every field in the US right now; in my area there are 100 people a day testing positive and I live in a small place. Just think if those 100 people that tested positive yesterday were her crew?! Maybe you live where Covid isn't an issue? But it sure the heck is in the US!
Covid wouldn’t cancel the whole residency. Delay a show or two sure.

the not receiving deliveries is what does it for me. If I know that I’m trying to get suppliers to get my orders in before first show, and I know there should be time for assembling and running through to make sure… there is no way in hell am I going to expect the delivery day before and be up and running the next day. So for her to wait until the very last minute imho when someone should have been chasing for a definitive answer of whether that **** is going to be coming a week before minimal the show starts.

And if I don’t have an answer by the time two weeks before the first show starts eg show is January 22nd and I don’t have an answer by January 8th, I would have made the executive decision to cancel rather than risk it cutting so close.
 
But Adele can - right?

I was thinking she should just go on stage and do so, it would be so intimate and charming... and very special.
The rumor that is going around right now is that Adele had or is having surgery on the vocal cordsor something like that and they can't sing and that is why the show has been cancelled.

 
I don't know about the surgery rumours, but I also read that she's having problems in her personal life with her bf Rich Paul and isn't in a "good place" to perform *shrug* again, just internet gossip..
 
I read people spent thousands on airfares and hotels for this performance.

It reminds me of someone I once knew who took out a loan to travel to see Barbra Streisand's last, ever performance before retirement (as it was advertised) - and then Babs came out of retirement just a year later.

No performer is worth so much money, IMHO.
 
According to this she had a meltdown over the set design, and that’s why she canceled. It’s The Sun though, so who knows if it’s true.:-s
