So she cancelled her Vegas thing 24hrs before. Tickets that would have cost thousands were not refunded. It was too late for many to cancel hotels, flights. They lost that money, and that annual leave time.

She never gave a clear explanation except ‘it wasn’t ready. Then total radio silence on when (if ever) it would actually happen.

Then she comes over and does an exclusive show for rich celebrities. The plebs can watch on TV though. Still now word when people who had Vegas tickets would be able to either use those tickets or get refunds.

Then at the weekend she did a gig at Hyde Park, that was simple, not flashy, and it was observed by commentators that this sort of stripped back simple staging would have been more than acceptable to anyone stuck out in Vegas so the tickets they couldn’t use - it’s clearly possible for her to perform that way, she’s seems to generally perform simply. That people wanted to hear her sing, and would not have cared it it was just her on a stage with a piano and a couple of backing singers (like it was in Hyde Park in fact). So really just poses more questions.

And now she has gone on the record to say how much she had to ‘grieve’ for the Vegas show, how hard she found it, and that it is 100% happening this year.

This year. When there’s been no reason recoups indication of this. So people that are still thousands of pounds out of pocket from January, and have no annual leave left to book another trip to Vegas, let alone afford that with such short notice. Looks like they are the ones that will be ‘grieving’.

I used to really love her music - now when she comes on the radio I can’t help but think ‘oh shut up you whiney twat, you have NO idea’.

I like Adele. Not a fan of her music, but she has always come across as lovely.

She moved to Hollywood, lost weight a shit load of weight and got a very rich, ‘cool’ boyfriend. She’s done well, I’m really happy for her, and of course she’s changed and lost her ‘just a normal girl with a big voice’ appeal. She’s not the chubby kid from Tottenham anymore, she’s an incredibly wealthy, accomplished & successful woman.

The Las Vegas cancellation was unfortunate for the fans and not very professional, I agree, but the outrage and hysterics in the media over it are overkill. Shows get cancelled all the time. Shit happens.

Thank you Adele for your input 🙄

I’m pretty sure the real Adele IS a fan of her own music 😆

I just like her because she’s from Tottenham and she’s done well for herself. And I’m not going to skate someone viciously over some cancelled concerts.

She’s getting fat. Lucky she’s got all that loose skin left.

Victim mentality and very over rated.
Allie Sherlock , the young Irish busker does a much better job, look her up on youtube.

She got a "cool" boyfriend did she? I expect her son would rather she had stayed with his dad but maybe he wasn't "cool" enough for her.

I can't stand her whiny voice droning on and on with some miserable song. She can hold a tune although I hate warbling female singers but her voice is nothing special.

Her songs are bloody awful. I usually would like 1 or 2 songs of most singers but hers are all dreadful

Fame has definitely changed her. She's not the down to earth person she was.
