So she will be performing weekly at the 4,100-capacity Colosseum at Caesars Palace until March next year.

In an open letter to fans, Adele said: “Words can’t explain how ecstatic I am to finally be able to announce these rescheduled shows.

“I truly was heartbroken to have to cancel them.

“But after what feels like an eternity of figuring out logistics for the show that I really want to deliver, and knowing it can happen, I’m more excited than ever!

“I know for some of you it was a horrible decision on my part . . .  but I promise you it was the right one.

“To be with you in such an intimate space every week has been what I’ve most been looking forward to and I’m going to give you the absolute best of me.”

Let’s hope it’s worth the wait.
