When Adele announced on Instagram last Thursday that she was postponing her hotly anticipated Las Vegas residency only 24 hours before the first show, the 33-year-old wept as she told fans "my show ain’t ready." But the drama behind the scenes was apparently even more intense.

Sources told Page Six that the singer was "shouting and sobbing" on the phone to Rich Paul, her sports agent boyfriend of six months, during rehearsals. "Adele’s been crying and couldn’t get through a single full rehearsal for the past month," said a source linked to the management team at Caesars Palace, where the shows were to take place. "Just constantly on the phone with Rich … loudly shouting and sobbing.

Scott Roeben, the Las Vegas-based journalist for Casino.org who broke the news of the star’s residency, told Page Six that Vegas insiders are now worried that Adele will cancel the concerts for good. "There are rumblings that there are stresses related to Adele’s relationship.

I’m told that these stresses caused her to be in a place where she was just not confident moving forward," he said. "You can’t focus if you’re not where you need to be in your head." She reportedly took a private jet to Los Angeles and went straight to Paul’s home after making her announcement.
