The singer further added that her team has run out of time adding that it has been impossible to finish the show and maintained that she's tired agree to remain awake for over 30 hours.
However, she did not inform when the show would be rescheduled, but the Las Vegas Review-Journal speculated that they could begin again in April. It is not clear why a 14-day COVID outbreak would postpone a multimillion-dollar show for months
In November, she told Rolling Stone that she would not go on tour because she was worried about the logistics during the pandemic.
“It's too unpredictable, with all the rules and stuff,” she said. “I don't want anyone coming to my show scared. And I don't want to get COVID, either.”
Fans of the 33-year-old singer had shelled out up to $30,000 for resale tickets for the eagerly-anticipated show - her first live concert in five years.
While many were sympathetic, plenty were frustrated.
“This breaks my heart, for you and for me,” tweeted a user. “I know how hard it is to put on a show, especially with a pandemic,” added another.
“But it's also hard to save enough money, to get time off work from a hospital, that is short-staffed, book a flight and hotel, fly in two days early and find out 30 hrs before the show, when we are already here, that the reason we came for is not going to happen.”
“The people with first weekend show tickets may not be able to afford the time or money to reschedule something like this.
A user noted: “Unbelievable. What a disgrace. I thought the yanks had their house in order. Rona or no rona, the show must go on.”
One woman accused Adele of 'crocodile tears', pointing out that obtaining refunds for travel and hotels was always complicated, while another posted a picture of a furious emoji, tweeting: “Not Adele rescheduling after already buying plane tickets, show tickets & getting a hotel room”.
