Adele postpones Las Vegas residency one day before opening, drama behind-the-scenes

Update: One of the reported reasons Adele's show wasn't ready was because "there was no real clarity around what Adele wanted for the show because of the endless changes being made to the production."

This is from News.com.au:

It seemed that while she has always preferred a stripped-back performance, she was under some pressure to come up with a huge extravaganza.
 
“So there was a constant ricochet between those two versions of what the show should be, and it did cause some quite explosive arguments."

“Most shows have teething problems of one kind or another, but there has been a feeling for some time that these shows were heading for disaster."

There's also buzz that her team tried to hire non-union workers for the show. “They’re attempting union busting.”

Thoughts, Exhale?

I'm not ok with union busting. 

But in regards to the rest of the story, I don't blame Adele for canceling. Her musical persona has always been about her vocal talent, not about big glitzy shows. She needs to do what she feels comfortable with. It translates on stage. 

 I still love her. I think some of the anger towards Adele I've seen on Exhale is a little bizarre. I mean, people who bought tickets should get their money back, but that's a problem with the industry/touring companies in general, not just Adele.

Why didn’t she do the same concept like her CBS special?
