Adele’s Munich Shows in Jeopardy After Final Dress Rehearsal Canceled, Intense Training for European Residency

"Adele In Munich" faces uncertainty following the cancellation of the final run-through.

Adele is gearing up to take the stage at a newly-constructed 80,000-seat Munich Messe stadium in Germany this week. But the "Hello" singer faced a setback in her European residency just before her debut performance on Friday.

According to the Daily Mail, the final dress rehearsal was unexpectedly canceled due to concerns about severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, prompting the Grammy Award-winning singer and her team to decide to postpone it.

A statement from concert organizers cited safety concerns as the reason for canceling the rehearsal.

But the inclement weather also threatens her first Munich show.

The weather outlook for the German city remains a concern, with forecasts predicting "moderate, gusty winds from the west to northwest" in certain regions and the possibility of "scattered showers or thunderstorms" from Friday and Saturday, particularly in the vicinity of the Alps.

Even though Adele's first show is scheduled for Friday, approximately 5% of tickets for the month's shows are still up for grabs.

But they are expected to be snapped up, given that the upcoming 10-date residency marks her final performance of the year, except for additional sold-out shows in Las Vegas.

Facing mounting pressure for her return to the stadium stage, the "Rolling in the Deep" hitmaker is determined to shake off her reputation for tour cancellations. The abrupt end of her last world tour at Wembley in 2017 due to illness had shadowed her comeback.

Issues also continued during Adele's residency in Las Vegas, with a sudden show cancellation attributed to production dissatisfaction and COVID-related complications.

Subsequently, the award-winning singer had to reschedule 10 performances due to vocal problems.

The new update on Adele's upcoming concert comes after the mom-of-one revealed that she'd been training like a professional "athlete" as she prepared for her residency in Munich.

The 36-year-old diligently trained and pushed herself to the limit, jokingly remarking that her incredibly strong backside could single-handedly shift mountains.

In one of her "Weekends with Adele" Las Vegas shows, she happily told the audience, "I am back at my gym grind like nobody's business, I am doing two or three sessions a day."

Adele added, "My a*s is getting rock solid again! I can move mountains with my bum. I have been working out like a crazy person. The reason that I am working out like I'm an athlete again is because that stage is f*****g enormous."
