Writing on Twitter, the star singer wrote: “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,” she added, “and knowing it can happen, I’m more excited than ever!
“Now I know for some of you it was a horrible decision on my part, and I will always be sorry for that… 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. Thank you for your patience, I love you, Adele.”
The show had originally been set for January, before a tearful Adele took to Instagram Live to explain how the show could no longer go ahead. “I’m so sorry, but my show ain’t ready,” she explained at the time. “Half my team have Covid and it’s been impossible to finish the show.”
The cancellation, which was announced just 24 hours before the first show was due to take place, inevitably upset some fans. It had left some out of pocket, too, with reports of some fans finding out the news mid-flight, some not getting their refunds from booked-for hotels, and one person even paying as much as £26,000, only for the show not to happen.
The cancellation has obviously weighed heavily on the mind of Adele since it took place as well. At British Summer Time in Hyde Park a few weeks ago, she still expressed how “mortified” she was at “letting people down” – although she did hint at imminent news about new dates, too.

And now, we finally have those dates. The residency will begin at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on 18 November and last until March 2023.
Tickets are expectedly very limited, and priority is of course being given to those who held tickets for the original shows.
However, for any with a glimmer of hope about getting one, click here.
Last week, the singer announced that a tell-all documentary exploring her love life with Rich Paul and the initial cancellation of that very same Las Vegas residency is in the works.
