A tearful and apologetic Adele on Thursday postponed a series of Las Vegas concerts due to start on Friday because half her crew was sick with Covid-19 and the pandemic has caused delivery delays.

The British superstar had been scheduled to start a three-month residence at the Caesars Palace Hotel in what were to be her first live appearances since 2017.

“We’ve tried absolutely everything that we can to put it together in time. And for it to be good enough for you. But we’ve been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and Covid. Half my crew, half my team are down with Covid. They still are. And it’s been impossible to finish the show,” Adele said in a video posted on Instagram.

Saying she was “sorry” eight times in a 92-second message, especially for people who had traveled to Las Vegas for the show, Adele said the delays prevented her from perfecting the show to her standards and she promised to reschedule.

“I’m going to finish my show and I’m going to get it to where it’s supposed to be,” she said.

The shows were to follow her latest album “30,” which debuted at No.1 in 30 countries in November.

Concert residencies in Las Vegas have become a major attraction in the recent years for musicians who do not wish to travel extensively.

Celine Dion, Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood, Usher, Barry Manilow and Shania Twain are among the top acts to have recently scheduled multiple concert dates in Las Vegas.

‘Joto Kando Kolkatatei’ will be released in theaters during the upcoming Durga Puja. Tollywood actor Abir Chatterjee will be seen opposite Nawshaba in this movie.

Nawshaba plays the role of a Bangladeshi girl in the film, who goes to Kolkata in search of her roots. The film is made in the shadow of Feluda’s style of puzzles and mysteries.

In this context, Nawshaba told the media, “Every moment of this film pays tribute to Satyajit Ray. Both Abir Chatterjee and my characters in the film are Feluda devotees. However, this is not a detective story.”

Nawshaba further said, ‘This work was like magic for me. Suddenly I got Anik da’s text, then I joined through audition. We shot in September 2023. This time it is going to be released, that too during Durga Puja – it is a special joy for me.’

A Dhaka court today (July 13) granted bail to popular actress Apu Biswas in an attempted murder case linked to last year’s July-August Mass Uprising.

Dhaka Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Mustafizur Rahman passed the order after Apu Biswas surrendered before the court and sought bail.

Earlier, on June 2, the High Court had granted her six weeks of anticipatory bail in the same case.

According to the case statement, on July 19, 2024, Enamul Haque and other Anti-Discrimination Movement activists were protesting in the city’s Bhatara area when gunshots were fired at them.
