This time last year Adele released her highly-anticipated fourth studio album 30, her first in six years, to widespread critical acclaim. What became the best-selling record of 2021 worldwide coincided with long-awaited news of a return to live performing. She announced two concerts for summer 2022 to be held at BST Hyde Park, her first UK gig in five years – with pre-sale tickets selling out in less than an hour.
Adele would also plan a Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum in Caesars Palace to run from January to April 2022, prior to the London dates. However, the day before the shows were about to begin, the “heartbroken” megastar announced they would regrettably be postponed due to “delivery delays and COVID.”
Devastated to have to do this, the 34-year-old apologised via live steam to fans outside the venue. The concert run was postponed to run from November 18, 2022 to March 25 2023, with eight more dates bringing the total to 32.
Now her opening night has arrived and the singer is having mixed emotions about her sold-out shows that have resale tickets going for up to £40,000.

Adele posted a picture of herself on Instagram, standing inside The Colosseum venue in Las Vegas, smiling with a mic in hand. Behind the star on huge screens were some of her childhood photos.
The 34-year-old captioned the post: “I’m feeling all sorts as I write this. I’m highly emotional, incredibly nervous but can’t sit still because I’m so excited. I feel a million miles away from home, I can’t stop thinking about when I was little and saw Tom Jones in Mars Attacks and thought blimey how did he get from Wales to Las Vegas!?”

Film fans will know the Delilah singer cameoed in Tim Burton’s 1996 comedy as himself, attempting to survive an alien invasion while performing in Sin City.
Adele continued: “I always get scared before shows, and I take it as a good sign because it means I care and means I just want to do a good job. Maybe it’s because I didn’t start when I was supposed to. Maybe it’s because it’s opening night, maybe it’s because Hyde Park went so great, maybe its because I love the show I don’t know. But it’s safe to say I’ve never been more nervous before a show in my career, but at the same time I wish today was tomorrow! I can’t wait to see you out there x.”
