The Grammy winner says she’s “very proud of myself for standing by my artistic needs.”
Adele’s initial devastation surrounding her postponed Las Vegas residency is water under the bridge.
“It was the worst moment in my career, by far,” Adele said.

I was so excited about those shows.
It was devastating."
The authenticity she craved, however, was just not there.
“There was just no soul in it,” Adele continued.
“The stage setup wasn’t right.
It was very disconnected from me and my band, and it lacked intimacy.
And maybe I tried too hard to give it those things in such a controlled environment.”
“This would be the best part of the show,” she said of that intimacy.
“For me, and for you.
This is what I want.”
She soon “went into hiding.”
“The first couple of months was really, really hard,” Adele said.
“I was embarrassed.
But it actually made my confidence in myself grow, because it was a very brave thing to do.
And I don’t think many people would have done what I did.
I’m very proud of myself for standing by my artistic needs.”
“It felt strange receiving so much love when I’d let people down,” she added.
“Words can’t explain how ecstatic I am to finally be able to announce these rescheduled shows.”
