Adele Pauses Las Vegas Residency Due to Illness Again

Adele has announced that she will be pausing her Las Vegas residency and going on vocal rest due to illness. The singer, 35, had been performing at Caesars Palace since December 2021 but fell ill at the end of the last leg and all through her break. She was unable to fully recover before shows resumed and is now sick again, causing a toll on her voice.

Adele has postponed five remaining weekends of shows: March 1, 2, 8, 9, and 15-16. The singer apologized for the inconvenience to fans in a social media post but said that she will be back on stage as soon as possible.

This is not the first time Adele has had to pause her Las Vegas residency due to illness. In January of 2022, she announced that the show was not ready and later returned for four shows in May and June.

  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Adele has gone on vocal rest due to being sick and not getting enough time to recover before shows resumed. However, this contradicts what was reported by The Daily Mail earlier which stated that during one of her recent shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, she addressed the crowd and explained her condition. This suggests that Adele may have been aware of her condition prior to the show and chose to continue performing despite being sick. Secondly, while it is true that Adele has had issues with her voice in the past due to surgery for a hemorrhaged vocal cord in November 2011 and canceling her Wembley Stadium Concert due to damaged vocal cords in June 2017, this information was not disclosed by the author. Lastly, while it is stated that Adele will be resting until she receives the all-clear from her doctor, there is no indication of when or if she will resume her Las Vegas residency.

  • Bias (85%)
