Adele’s rescheduled Las Vegas performances are now slated to take place in the city’s renowned Caesars Palace hotel, following a last-minute postponement. Just hours before her debut performance, the celebrity informed her fans about how she was feeling.

Adele informed her fans that she felt “a million miles away from home” and that she has “never been more scared” than on the eve of the opening night of her previously postponed Las Vegas residency.

The British actress’s original run of performances at the Caesars Palace hotel was canceled at the eleventh hour in January due to complications caused by COVID, with the star in tears as she made the announcement.

Thousands of fans are anticipated to attend the first night of Adele’s Las Vegas residency, which runs from 18 November to 25 March 2023 and includes the 24 rescheduled events as well as eight more performances.

The day before her debut performance, the singer shared a practice photo with her 50,9 million Instagram followers and commented, “I’m feeling all sorts as I type this. I am extremely emotional and anxious, but I cannot sit still because I am so excited.

“I feel a million miles from home, and I can’t stop thinking about when I was a child and saw Tom Jones in Mars Attacks and wondered, ‘How did he get from Wales to Las Vegas?’

I view my anxiety before performances as a positive indicator because it indicates that I care about doing a good job.

She then addressed the delay and her performance at London’s Hyde Park earlier in 2022, writing, “Perhaps it’s because I didn’t begin when I was supposed to.

“I don’t know if it’s because it’s opening night, because Hyde Park was so successful, or because I love the play. It’s safe to say that I’ve never been more anxious before a show in my career, but I wish it were tomorrow! I cannot wait to meet you there!”

Adele issued an emotional video before the scheduled opening date in January informing supporters that the show had been “totally devastated” by delivery delays and coronavirus and therefore had to be canceled.

She stated that her production team had attempted “everything” but it was “impossible.”

In a subsequent interview, she indicated that she “certainly felt everyone’s disappointment” and was “devastated” to have to make the decision, but that she had no other option.

Adele returned to the public eye at the end of 2021 with the single Easy On Me and her fourth album 30, which has now been nominated for the 2023 Grammy Award for best album.

Her performance at the British Summer Time festival in Hyde Park was her first public performance in the United Kingdom in five years, following her 2016 headlining performance on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury.
