RICHARD JOHNSON: Adele canceled Vegas shows because there’s ‘trouble in paradise’ with boyfriend

Adele canceled her concerts in Las Vegas because of problems with her boyfriend, sports agent Rich Paul, I’ve heard.

The “Hello” singer called off her Caesars Palace shows less than 24 hours before last Friday’s scheduled curtain-raiser. Adelewas in tears when she explained to her fans, many of whom were already in Sin City, the reasons for pushing back the residency, which was supposed to open with performances running into April.
 

“My show ain’t ready,” she said last week. “We’ve tried absolutely everything that we can to put it together in time, and for it to be good enough for you. But we’ve been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID.”

But things may not be as simple, my source tells me.

As soon as she bowed out of her residency, Adele flew to Los Angeles to be with Paul, of Klutch Sports Group, who manages NBA star LeBron James among other athletes, the source said.

“There’s trouble in paradise,” said my source. “That’s why she can’t perform.”

Maybe she just missed him too much.
