The London-born songstress was set to play 24 concerts on Fridays and Saturdays at the Caesars Palace’s Colosseum before they were pulled due to Covid implications and production issues.

She began her set on January 18 at the 4,200-seater venue, and was meant to run until April 16.

Tickets for Weekends With Adele range from £700 to £9,000+.

According to reports, the superstar was set to take home a whopping £500K per show, making her the highest-paid female star in the history of the organisation.
