In February, Adele alsoexplained the reasonsbehind her decision onThe Graham Norton Show, telling the BBC talk show host that she “tried my hardest” to pull the show together in time, but fell short. However, she alluded that new dates will be announced.
“It would have been a really half-arsed show and I can’t do that,” the singer-songwriter told Norton. “People will see straight through me up on the stage… I’ve never done anything like that in my life and I’m not going to start now.”
“We are now working our arses off, but I don’t want to announce a new set of dates until I know everything will definitely be ready,” she continued, before adding the highly-personal admission that she may have even bigger things to concentrate on in 2023 with boyfriendRich Paul, 40.
