What's really happening with the Adele residency?

Adele performs at the 59th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Feb. 12, 2017.

The British pop singer Adele is used to making headlines for her record-breaking musical accomplishments.

But the news she made on January 20 was less positive. She had to abruptly postpone her Caesars Palace residency one night before its debut.

In a tearful video, she blamed Covid-19 and production supply delays. But since that news broke, other details have either emerged or been suggested — including disagreements with the stage design and sound system. 

So what’s the future of this hotly anticipated residency?

And: What is the When We Were Young festival, and why is it such a social media phenomenon?
