Adele repeatedly broke down in tears during an emotional performance for the opening night of her Las Vegas Residency on November 18

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Adele repeatedly broke down in tears on stage during an emotional performance for the opening night of her Las Vegas Residency on Friday, November 18. She admitted to the audience at the Ceasar's Palace Colosseum that she was "so scared and nervous." The 34-year-old reportedly said with tearful eyes, “I should be giving you a standing ovation, thank you so much for coming back to me. I really appreciate it. You look amazing and it looks just what I imagined it would look like, it's perfect. I'm so scared and nervous, but I am so happy, I don't know what I was thinking putting piano ballads at the top of the set, hopefully, over time my nerves will disappear.”

"I would also really like to thank Caesar's because there have been a lot of rumors and they never once asked any questions, they've been amazing. Only legends have been through these doors, I'm so honored. I have no idea what I've embarked on for five months, but I can't wait,” she remarked, according to TMZ. However, fans on social media were not so impressed with Adele’s emotional exchange with the audience. One person wrote on Twitter, “Stop being such a drama queen.” “She needs to take a break and dry out...i.e stay off the alcohol. She is talented but right now she appears sloppy,” another added. Someone advised, “Get it together.” “What a clown show 🤡” yet another user remarked.

Meanwhile, during her Vegas residency, the singer looked stunning as she took the stage in a classy black gown, and performed some of her biggest hits, including "Hello", "Set Fire To The Rain", "When We Were Young", "Skyfall", and "Hometown Glory". She was supported by her 10-year-old son Angelo and her boyfriend Rich Paul, 40, who was dressed sharply in a black suit as he sat in the crowd and watched her perform. Prior to this, the residency had been postponed indefinitely in January due to production issues and COVID worries. She received criticism for the cancellation at that time. 

In a live message to her fans, Adele broke down in tears as she said that COVID forced her to postpone the start of her Las Vegas residency. “We've been up against so much and it just ain't ready. I'm so sorry," the star said on social media. We've tried absolutely everything that 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 team and half my crew are hit by COVID. They still are and it's been impossible to finish the show,” she remarked at the time.
