Adele SLAMMED over extortionate price of Las Vegas tour vinyl: ‘Girl we are not rich!’
As a longtime fan of Adele, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of admiration for her resilience and strength. Watching her journey from a struggling singer to a global superstar has been nothing short of inspiring. Her recent struggles with the Las Vegas residency, however, serve as a stark reminder that even the most successful among us are not immune to setbacks.
Critics are criticizing Adele for the high cost of her exclusive vinyl box set, which includes all the songs performed during her Las Vegas residency.
Fans were disappointed to find out that the box set, which contained a photo book and souvenir confetti from the event, retailed at a high price of $349.
Despite great anticipation for purchasing the vinyl box set, which encompassed her 100-date residency at the legendary Colosseum in Caesars Palace, most people found it difficult to afford such a high cost.
One even tweeted that it ‘was cheaper’ for them to fly to Munich ‘to see’ the superstar ‘live than this vinyl.’
Another marveled at ‘the price being higher than [Taylor Swift’s] Eras Tour VIP tickets.’
‘Now Adele [sobbing emoji] miss ma’am. $350 in this economy? [two more sobbing emojis].’
Others joked they would need a ‘sugar daddy’ to purchase the item for them.
‘Please give us a cheaper vinyl for normal people who can’t afford that,’ one X user pleaded.
Another fan theorized that Adele was getting her ‘retirement check ready.’
As stated on Adele’s official site, the vinyl box set offers a unique and immersive auditory journey that captures Adele’s entire live show from her spectacular Las Vegas performance.
The vinyl spans two hours and features tracks across her entire catalog, including her biggest hits like Hello, Rolling in the Deep and Someone Like You.
Additionally, ‘in true Adele fashion’ some of her banter between songs made the cut.
The item is on preorder and has an estimated ship date of early February 2025.
On Tuesday, Adele shared a video on Twitter that offered a preview of the vinyl record, photo album, and heart-shaped confetti.
In her post on X, she shared that to celebrate wrapping up her residency in Las Vegas, she is producing a limited vinyl box set containing the complete live concert playlist, a photo compilation, and leftover confetti from the performance as well.
Moreover, she disclosed that alongside these, she has introduced a novel card game and special holiday items such as an ornament, available on her personal website.
Adele boasts a roughly $220 million fortune derived mainly from her live performances, album sales, streaming earnings, revenue generated through merchandise, and returns on investments.
This week, she wrapped her two-year Las Vegas residency.
In her recent performance, she spoke about rumors suggesting her retirement, acknowledging that she was uncertain about the timing of her next musical release or tour.
‘I just dunno when I want to next come on stage,’ she confessed. ‘And it’s time to move on.’
‘It’s time for the next chapter and it’s time for the next season of my life.’
In my heartfelt address, I couldn’t help but acknowledge the incredible individuals who stand by my side – my beloved family, my son Angelo, and my fiancé Rich Paul. They deserve a special mention for their unwavering support and love.
After concluding her performance, Adele reflected on the beginning of her time in Las Vegas as “very challenging,” and labeled the year 2022, during which she had to cancel shows at the last minute, as the most difficult year of her life.
At the last minute, all 24 shows of her residency tour were cancelled due to allegations that half her crew had contracted Covid-19, leaving insufficient time to prepare the performances.
On stage on Saturday night, Adele chugged a glass of wine and told the huge audience of 5,000 fans, in a clip shared to X: ‘I am so sad that this residency is over and I am so glad that it happened I really, really am.
‘It got off to such a f****** rocky rocky way, it was one of the worst years of my life. I was being punched around, it was horrible and I was told it was career suicide and Vegas would never forgive me for [cancelling] so last minute.’
With a tremble in her voice and holding back sobs, she went on: ‘Earlier today, we were like a united team. That was when the tears first fell. If I hadn’t gone on that cancelled show, I wouldn’t be standing here now, performing my 100th show.’
She continued with the advice: ‘If a situation or action seems wrong to you in any way, trust your intuition and don’t proceed. It doesn’t matter the circumstances; always follow your gut feelings.’
I’m overflowing with pride! I’m incredibly proud not only of myself but also my team, the band, and my fans. I’m deeply grateful to Las Vegas for providing me another opportunity.
After delivering her speech, she moved towards the crowd, warmly hugging Richard (age 43) following the confirmation of their engagement in August, and also her son, a shared child with her former spouse, James Konecki (age 50).
In the year 2022, individuals shelled out anywhere from $85 to an astonishing $12,000 for a ticket, or even as much as $30,000 on the black market, to attend the opening performance in Las Vegas. Fans from across the globe, including the UK, had already made their way to the venue.
As I count down the final hours, the renowned British artist has made an unexpected decision to call off her entire 24-performance streak, which was set to rake in an impressive $685,000 (£500,000) per show – a record-breaking figure for Vegas. I must admit, it’s quite the surprise!
‘Weekends With Adele’: The Show Postponed
Despite our best efforts to complete the project on time and meet your expectations, we’ve been overwhelmed by shipping delays and the impact of COVID-19. A significant portion of my team has fallen ill with COVID-19, which has made it difficult for us to finalize the show.
She went on expressing, “I’m truly disappointed – it’s unfortunate that this has come up at the eleventh hour. We’ve been working tirelessly for over 30 hours, but time simply ran out on us. I’m deeply saddened and feel incredibly embarrassed. My apologies extend to everyone who traveled to attend [the show]. I genuinely regret any inconvenience this may have caused.” As her voice began to falter, the emotions were evident.
