While the 33-year-old pop star claimed the show “just ain’t ready” in a tearful video apology filmed in her $56,600-a-night suite at Sin City’s Caesars Palace hotel and casino, sources tell Woman’s Day the songstress – and her devotees – are paying for her pickiness.
“Adele has always been ‘particular’ about her set design and sound system, but now it seems she is taking her perfectionism too far,” says an insider. “She wants things to be just so, which is her prerogative as an artist, but apparently she threw a fit over The Colosseum’s stereo system, wanting to pull it out and use her own. It was good enough for the likes of Celine Dion and Mariah Carey, but apparently not Adele.”
INDECISION
According to another source, the star’s concert crew were “working literally 18 hours a day” before Adele pulled the plug, with the indecisive singer constantly “adding and taking things away”, much to the anger of her employees, especially A-list set designer Esmeralda Devlin. The pair are believed to have had a series of “explosive arguments”, with Adele reportedly unhappy with a swimming pool that had been specially made for her to sing from. According to reports, she likened the design to an “old pond” and point-blank refused to stand in it.
