The “Hello” singer said dates would be rescheduled.

“It’s been impossible. We’ve been up against so much, and it just ain’t ready,” she said. “I’m really sorry.”

The show, named Weekends with Adele, was initially set to go through April 16 with two shows each weekend.

Upon the video’s release, Adele said thanks to her team included, composing via social media, “I got to work with Sam Brown again for ‘Oh My God’ who directed the ‘Rolling In The Deep’ video! So to collaborate again a decade later was nostalgic to say the least.”

“We filmed this one on the day Easy On Me dropped, a million things were going on all at once. But the attention to detail from the crew was borderline hilarious – thank you so much for your patience and pulling it all together it was a lot of fun,” she said. “Although right at the end a huge python was on set so I skidaddled my arse straight out of there!”

She added, “Big thank you to Harris Reed, Louis Vuitton and The Queens Haus – Vivienne Westwood for the most stunning clothes for me to sing my ‘I’m a hot mess’ song in! ♥️.”

Adele’s planned residency follows the November release of her most recent blockbuster album “30,” her first studio LP in six years and fourth overall. Last week, she dropped the video for its second single, “Oh My God..”
