The British superstar has been forced to reschedule the start of her Las Vegas residency because of COVID.

Taking to social media she said: "We've been up against so much and it just ain't ready. I'm so sorry. But we've been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID. Half my team, half my crew are hit by COVID. They still are and it's been impossible to finish the show."

She went on to say she was “gutted” and "so upset and really embarrassed."

Thirty-three-year-old Adele was due to two concerts each weekend starting 21 January until 16 April in the US city.
