Rolling in the deep end: Adele cancelled Las Vegas residency at the 11th hour 'after furious row with set designers over onstage swimming pool stunt'
dm ^ | 1/24/2022 | JASON CHESTER FOR MAILONLINE

Many have cast doubt on her Covid explanation. Vegas journalist Scott Roeben, who broke the story of her residency, claimed she was insisting on tearing out the sound system at Caesar's Colosseum theater and installing her own.

'Apparently, Adele and her team refused to use the house equipment in The Colosseum,' said Roeben.

'The theatre has a massive video screen, very high tech, but Adele's team insisted upon an entirely new system – a larger screen, essentially built a few inches in front of the existing screen.

'Such demands not only drive up production costs but, at a time when supplies are disrupted, it's a recipe for disaster – in this case last-minute delays or cancellations.

'I also hear from a source that Caesars had to replace the cutting edge Meyer sound system and replace it with a different system for her.'

MailOnline has contacted a representative for further comment.

At least he apologized. But a very funny story.

Yes, I know. He shared that story on his program and Elton sung at his wedding. Elton got a lot of heat for it.

The face of Joe Walsh when he does that one particular strum of the guitar makes me laugh. He does it twice.

She has a terrible potty mouth. Just as bad a Pink’s if not worse.

Well, I always thought that Joe Walsh was a kind of off-the-wall and aloof. ;-)

It’s been so many years (late 60s) since I heard JT, that I can’t make any connection to the music.

Is it necessary to establish residency in order to do a show?

Adele is stupid. Due to social media, fans will be reluctant to buy tickets from her in the future because now they see her as a flake. That’ll drive down prices. Not good for the brand.

Ian Anderson said, he considered Hotel California to be a tribute, like his watch was a tribute to Rolex.

Once you get that Diva reputation it’s hard to shed.

Pretty soon your audience will be down to aging Queens.
