Adele was set to make a staggering amount of money from her Las Vegas residency, with exclusive concerts due to start from January 21.

But then she postponed the whole event scheduled at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas with a tearful apology posted to social media.

“I’m so sorry, but my show ain’t ready,” she revealed nervously, saying that there were too many delays and problems stemming from COVID-19.

PageSix is now revealing that things were going haywire in more ways than just COVID-19, though.

Sources close to Adele have said that the residency was “heading for disaster” already, with the singer’s “explosive arguments” with A-list set designer Esmeralda Devlin:

“In spite of the set costing millions to put together, Adele was unhappy with the result, and she made her feelings very clear to Es,” an insider claimed.

“She [Adele] was already nervous and the falling out sent her spiraling into a panic because she was desperate that everything should be perfect,” the source continued, noting that Devlin also worked on Adele’s 2016 world tour.

Devlin has also previously worked with the likes of Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus:

Another source mentioned the “endless changes” to the setlist and running order made the rift between the two much larger:

“There was no real clarity around what Adele wanted for the show because of the endless changes being made to the production,” the source said.

“It seemed that while she has always preferred a stripped-back performance, she was under some pressure to come up with a huge extravaganza. So there was a constant ricochet between those two versions of what the show should be, and it did cause some quite explosive arguments.”

Towards the end, there was an overwhelming feeling that “these shows were heading for disaster”:

“It is well known that Adele suffers badly with anxiety when it comes to performing live, so it’s hard to imagine her going ahead if she wasn’t happy,” the insider added.

Here’s Adele’s postponement apology, in case you missed it:

Tickets sold for between $1 000 to $12 280, so you can only imagine how irate fans were to hear the disappointing news.

She is already in the process of rescheduling the dates, though, so hopefully, folks are holding tight and going easy on her.
