The stakes are high, as Adele and her team know only too well.Yesterday saw the first night of her now notoriously delayed four-month residency at Caesars Palace Colosseum in .<\/p>\n

One down, 31 more potentially perilous performances to go.Now there is one overriding concern among her team: for the sake of Adele’s reputation, nA<\/a> there can be not one single cancellation this time round.<\/p>\n

Everyone is utterly focused on avoiding the pitfalls of the past, when Adele reached for a grand Vegas spectacle \u2014 only to crash embarrassingly to earth after deciding to cancel her planned shows in January less than 24 hours before she was due on stage, emotionally declaring \u2018It just ain’t ready’.<\/p>\n

Local Vegas journalist Scott Roeben \u2014 who broke the news of her residency back in 2021 \u2014 tells me Caesars Palace has been \u2018working hard’ to make sure this tour is as drama-free as possible.<\/p>\n

Everyone is utterly focused on avoiding the pitfalls of the past, when Adele reached for a grand Vegas spectacle \u2014 only to crash embarrassingly to earth after deciding to cancel her planned shows in January<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u2018What everyone is concerned about is that she really needs to not cancel one show because people fear another backlash would be very, very damaging.She already has a reputation as a diva. She cannot let the fans down again.’<\/p>\n

Adele has long said she wants all her Vegas shows to be \u2018intimate’ \u2014 the theatre at Caesars seats just 4,100 people, tiny for a woman who can fill stadiums \u2014 and hopes to natter away between songs and invite fans from the audience to join her on stage every night.Tickets are said to be selling for xn--439a1q688b2xh.kr<\/a> a staggering $38,000 a pop. Fans know how rare it is to see an idol this close up.<\/p>\n

Some insiders believe the chance to see Adele live will be even rarer in the future: that this Vegas tour could well be her last.<\/p>\n

Scott Roeben is one.He says: \u2018The belief is this will be something of a swansong run. The gild is off the lily in terms of record sales, and Adele has said she wants to have a baby and do a college degree, her focus really is moving away from music. Her heart just isn’t in it.’<\/p>\n

Adele has long said she wants all her Vegas shows to be \u2018intimate’ \u2014 the theatre at Caesars seats just 4,100 people, tiny for a woman who can fill stadiums<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For now, though, broody or not, Adele simply has to get through the residency.And that is no straightforward task: afflicted by stage fright, she is something of a tortured performer. Rehearsing, as she put it herself, for \u201812 hours a f***ing day’, she said last month when discussing her preparations: \u2018I’m sick and tired of anything musical.’<\/p>\n

Her remarks don’t quite reflect the enthusiastic tone you expect to hear from an artist.While she arguably had something to prove for past performances, like her world tour in 2016 \u2014 an experience she says she is \u2018still getting over’ \u2014 that drive has abated.<\/p>\n

It’s perhaps this emotion which was at the forefront on Thursday night as Adele tweeted of her extreme pre-show nerves, saying she felt a \u2018million miles away from home.’<\/p>\n

She went on: \u2018Maybe 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 it’s 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.’<\/p>\n
