Adele wrote: ‘Hiya, so I’m really happy to say that I am performing at the Brits next week!!

‘Anddddd I’ll also be popping in to see Graham for a chat on the couch while I’m in town too! I’m looking forward to it! Rich also sends his love.

Adele captioned the photo with a smiling snap of herself in a plunging leopard print dress – far from the January 20th post, where she cried and said she couldn’t continue with her residency less than one day prior to her Caesars Palace debut.

Chasing Pavements’ hitmaker, Chasing Pavements, is back at work. She told her followers that she will be appearing on The Graham Norton Show.  

Adele’s sassy Instagram posts comes after The New York Daily News’s Richard Johnson reported the singer called off ‘Weekends With Adele’ residency because of issues with Rich.

Sources said that the trouble is in paradise. She can’t do it because of that.

Sources close to Adele’s camp claim that Adele had been crying throughout rehearsals, interrupting them for phone calls with Paul.

Paul is the manager of NBA players LeBron Jam, Anthony Davis and Ben Simmons. Paul has been associated with the singer since 2021. 

Initial plans were for her residency to be open in the last week of April, and performances would continue through April. 

Adele was clearly emotional and told her fans, many who were at Sin City that there had been several reasons she decided to cancel the residency. 

She stated, “My show ain’t ready” 

Devastated: On January 20, Adele tearfully told fans she could not go ahead with the residency less than a day before her scheduled debut show

The devastation: Adele told her devastated fans on January 20 that she couldn’t continue with the residency less then a day before her planned debut show.

“We have done everything we could to make it work in time and to get it right for you. Delivery delays and COVID have completely destroyed our business. 

Before the news about her marriage issues broke, it was reported that she had been unhappy with the design of the stage, especially the swimming pool in the middle. 

Keith Urban, country music star and husband to Nicole Kidman announced that he would now play weekends at Caesars Palace from late March through early April 

Adele cancelled her appearance at the BRITs, citing backlash against her decision to cancel her residency.  

The Sun received word from a source saying that she was in discussions with her team regarding whether or not she would be able to appear on video. Although it’s quite a hassle, they are keen to have her participate in whatever way possible.

According to some reports, someone would have to accept the awards if she was the one receiving them. 

Sam Smith is one of many names already mentioned. Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, and Ed Sheeran also make up the opposition to Adele. But they’re all appearing unlikely.  

According to a source, they also approached Stormzy in hopes of persuading him.  

Adele has received four nods at this year’s BRIT Awards: Artist Of The Year, British Pop/R&B Act, British Album Of The Year and British Single Of The Year.
