Left in Adele of a a mess

Brit fans furious at star's cancelled gigs,She blames Covid and delivery delays

- CHRISTOPHER BUCKTIN

BRITISH fans in the US last night told of their fury over Adele's last-minute gig cancellations.

Ticket holders had spent thousands of pounds travelling to see the star for the opening of her 24-night residency in Las Vegas last night.

But late on Thursday Adele announced in a tearful Instagram video that she was postponing the concerts due to Covid among her crew and "delivery delays”. It could be weeks before they are rescheduled.

Antony Frear, from York, had travelled to the US to see the star as part of his 50th birthday celebrations with friends Simon Bell, 45, and Aaron Tyson, 38.

They each paid £4,300 for return flights, plus hundreds for a three-night stay at Caesars Palace where Adele was due to perform. The concert tickets had cost them £330 each.

Antony said: “I am so angry. Adele has form for this.

“We have spent thousands getting here but the ticket is not even worth the paper it is written on.
