Adele faces massive backlash

[left-of-center2012]

Adele fans today demanded the singer covers the cost of their Las Vegas flights and hotels after her 'astounding' decision to axe all her shows at the 11th hour when many were flying in or had already arrived in the entertainment capital of the world.

Fans paying between $85 and $12,000 for a ticket - or up to $30,000 on the black market - had already travelled to Las Vegas for the opening gig tonight. If they get tickets for replacement shows, now likely to be after Easter, most will be unable to go without more extraordinary expense and more time off work.

PR guru Mark Borkowski said the last minute cancellation was a 'disaster' for the singer, saying: 'It's not great for Adele and I think she knows it', adding: 'Her response seemed very authentic. I guess it's down to whether the fans believe her word'. He said Adele will have to do something to appease her angry supporters, and fast, especially after she cancelled two shows in London at the last minute in 2017 and took four years to reschedule.

Ticketmaster are urging people to 'hang on to their tickets' for new dates predicted to be between April and June - but says they will give refunds if people apply online. But many are already in Vegas having travelled thousands of miles to be there for the opening night, demanding the singer covers the thousands of dollars they have already laid out on flights and hotel rooms they have no hope of getting refunds for.

Many are questioning her reasons for cancelling, saying they don't believe her claims that Covid and 'delivery delays' would require her to cancel all 24 nights and postpone them for months. Most coming to the opening shows face losing thousands of dollars on flights and accommodation after the British singer cancelled all 24 shows at the 11th hour. Most airlines and Vegas hotels demand 48 hours notice for cancellations, if they allow it at all.

1. Oh the hand wringing

But I can't feel too sorry for people who can afford to pay Thousands of $$ to see a singer for an hour or so. Perhaps they can win back the costs in their luxury hotel casinos?
