Adele and her reps did not comment publicly on the abrupt postponement. However, Adele FaceTimed with many concertgoers in Las Vegas on Friday. She apologized and offered drink tickets, merchandise, and even a meet and greet whenever she makes up her mind.

On the casino floor Friday night, some disappointed ticketholders were being handed a phone, apparently by someone from Adele’s management team, to have FaceTime chats with the singer, individually or in groups; the posts were reported by TMZAnd the Daily Mail@Adriansm99 posted a video on his Instagram Story. It was viewed by one Instagram user “forgiving”Adele, for making the most of the show because of all the “healing”The “30” album had helped him do in recent months. “I really don’t mind coming back from Mexico,”He told her.

“I’m thankful for you being so graceful to me. I really appreciate that,”She replied. “That’s my manager right next to you… When you come back, whenever that is, we’ll do a meet-and-greet for free.”

Another group of supporters chants “It’s okay!” to a weeping Adele; a pair from New York even offer her advice about waiting until she’s ready, and not succumbing to negativity.

Adele postponed her residency in a heartbreaking Instagram post on Thursday. It was only 24 hours before the launch date. “All dates will be rescheduled, more info coming soon,”She wrote.

“I’m so sorry, but my show ain’t ready,”In the Instagram video, she spoke. “We’ve tried absolutely everything we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you, but we’ve been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID. Half my crew and team are [ill] with COVID and still are, and it’s been impossible to finish the show. I’m gutted — I’m sorry it’s so last minute, we’ve been awake for over 30 hours trying to figure it out and we’ve run out of time. I’m so upset and I’m really embarrassed and so sorry to everyone that traveled to get [to the show]. I’m really, really sorry.”

Adele and her reps made no public comments after the announcement. They only expressed their gratitude to fans for their understanding. Her rep didn’t immediately respond. Variety‘s requests for further details and comment on the postponement.

While day-before postponements are certainly not unprecedented during these Covid times — Dead & Co. were forced to cancel a New Year’s Eve show in Mexico hours before it was to begin when guitarist John Mayer and multiple crew members tested positive for the virus — by any measure, Adele’s decision was abrupt, and has led to unconfirmed rumors and tabloid reports about a dispute over production and/or stage fright being a cause of the postponement.
