ADELE. Singer Adele announces in a video posted on social networks that she must postpone her concerts in Las Vegas.
“I am disgusted.” It is in tears, in a video posted on social networks, that singer Adele announces the postponement of her concerts in Las Vegas, where she was to begin a residency from January 21. “We tried absolutely everything we could to get everything ready on time (…) but we were crushed by the delivery times and the Covid. Half of my team is sick with the Covid and it was impossible to finish the show. I am disgusted”, explains the artist, apologizing several times to “all those who made the trip” to go to the Colosseum at the Caesars Palace hotel in Las Vegas.
“We will reschedule all the dates, we are in the process of taking care of it,” promises Adele in this same video. The singer’s residency in Las Vegas was scheduled until April, launching her new tour on the occasion of the release of her album 30, released in November.
Overheating on streaming listening platforms on Friday November 19: between Orelsan’s album, that of Juliette Armanet but also, of course, that of the long-awaited Adele. The British singer reveals 30, his new disc composed of twelve tracks, including Easy on me, his event single released on October 15 and listened to some 24 million times in 24 hours, a first record (270 million today).
And records, Adele intends to break some with this new album. For the release of 30, the artist did not skimp on the means: for example, she had 500,000 vinyl copies of her album pressed, saturating the production chain, according to several American media including Variety. “Adele has reserved all the vinyl factories”, reacted in this sense Ed Sheeran, who also counted on the vinyl format of his last album.
Adele, with this fourth introspective album about her life, her divorce, her therapy or her weight loss, is on track to explode all stream records. Like his previous album, 25, sold more than 20 million copies worldwide.
There was no doubt that the expectation around the return of Adele was immense. Proof of this are the weekend numbers on his single Easy On Me, published Friday, October 15. In 24 hours, the title has been listened to more than 24 million times on Spotify, a record, and has established itself as the first trend in France on YouTube, where the clip has been viewed some 80 million times.
A huge box for Adele, who has just lifted the veil on the tracklist of 30 : the album has twelve tracks, including the single Easy on me, plus three bonus songs. It opens on Strangers by Nature, to end on Love Is A Game. 30 is due in stores on November 19, 2021. This album “was the ‘do or die’ during the most turbulent time of my life”, writes Adele, who recently divorced her husband Simon Konecki, in a long message posted on social networks. “When I was writing it, he was this friend who comes with a bottle of wine and a takeaway meal to support me,” adds the 33-year-old singer, who will reveal with 30 an intimate record, she who has recently been talked about so much for her therapy and her weight loss.
“I have painfully rebuilt my house and my heart since all this and this album tells it”, she concludes in the same message. See you on November 19 to discover 30, including Easy On Me, the first single, was released this Friday, October 15, accompanied by a clip directed by Xavier Dolan. For the most observant, note that the video begins in the same house as the one where the video of Hello in 2015 (a clip already directed by Xavier Dolan)…
On October 5, on social networks, the singer announced the release, on Friday October 15, 2021 at midnight (1 a.m. French time), of a new single, called Easy On Me. A publication accompanied by a musical and video extract of 21 small seconds. Something to stir up her community, already in suspense: a few days earlier, Adele fans around the world had spotted several projections of the number “30” on giant screens or various monuments such as the Palace of Westminster in London, the forecourt of Montmartre in Paris or even the Empire State Building in New York.
It was enough for the rumors to grow around the upcoming release of a long-awaited new album and its name. It must be said that Adele has a habit of giving the name to her records, her age. After 19, 21 and 25, released five years ago, the 33-year-old singer has therefore released their successor, 30.
Just six years ago came the huge commercial success of 2015: 25, who confirmed in passing the status of an essential world star of his interpreter. With this record, her third, Adele broke many sales records in various countries, particularly in England and the United States. A total of 20 million copies have been sold worldwide, in addition to being crowned with a Grammy Award for album of the year in 2017. After 25, the singer had celebrated this success during a gigantic world tour. The successor of 25 will he do better?
