The show will go on — “100 percent.” After Adele tearfully confirmed her Las Vegas residency had been postponed, the Grammy winner is opening up about having to rearrange her plans.“We are now working our asses off, but I don’t want to announce a new set of dates until I know everything will definitely be ready,” the “Easy on Me” songstress, 33, said during a Friday, February 11, appearance on The Graham Norton Show. “The sooner I can announce the better, but I just can’t in case we are not ready in time.”The England native, who announced the show’s delay last month one day before its scheduled opening, noted that performances will “absolutely 100 percent” be happening later this year.“It has to happen this year because I’ve got plans for next year,” Adele joked. “Imagine if I have to cancel because I am having a baby!” (The Oscar winner already shares son Angelo, 9, with ex-husband Simon Konecki.)The “Water Under the Bridge” performer told host Graham Norton that she “regrets” waiting to announce her concert’s delay until “late in the day.”“It would have been a really half-assed show and I can’t do that,” she explained on Friday. “People will see straight through me up on the stage and know I didn’t want to be doing it.

I’ve never done anything like that in my life and I’m not going to start now.”Adele previously revealed she was “gutted” to postpone her anticipated Weekends With Adele residency at the Colosseum of Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace Hotel amid the coronavirus pandemic.“I’m so sorry, but my show ain’t ready,” the songwriter explained via a social media video on January 20. “We’ve tried absolutely everything that we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you.
