Rumors have since circulated that the delay was due to Adele's relationship turmoil causing her distress, but the singer has yet to directly address such speculation.

Also, I’ve been lucky because I’ve been doing mine for sixteen years, so we kind of got it down," he conceded.
"We know what we are doing. We have production. We have lights, smoke and fog, but it’s a lot of work to put on a production, especially one of that magnitude and with her name." Born Scott Thompson, Carrot Top also noted that "there’s a lot of pressure to put on a nice show" in the city known for elaborate and long-running performances from big names like Celine Dion, Criss Angel and more.

The 33-year-old British chart-topper appears on the British talk show on Friday where she touches on a variety of hot topics surrounding her personal life with boyfriend Rich Paul. After sporting a massive diamond ring at the BRIT Awards earlier this week, the singer is quickly asked if this new accessory means she is, in fact, engaged to the sports agent. «If I was would I ever tell anyone if I was or wasn't?» Adele replies, dodging the question.But it seems that Adele certainly has her future with Paul on the brain as she discusses her delayed Las Vegas residency. “We are now working our a**es off, but I don’t want to announce a new set of dates until I know everything will definitely be ready. The sooner I can announce the better, but I just can’t in case we are not ready in time," she explains.
