Billboard reports that Adele has rescheduled a run of dates of her ‘Weekends With Adele’ Las Vegas residency that were originally scheduled to take place in March.

Adele, 35, wrote via Instagram that the postponed dates at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace will now take place on the final weekend of October, as well as every weekend in November: “The postponed dates for Weekends With Adele at The Colosseum, Caesars Palace from March have been rescheduled to the below dates later this year. Ticket holders for the postponed dates will be sent an email regarding their new allocated date,” adding that “all other shows remain unaffected.”

Adele first announced back in February that she would be delaying her residency due to health issues: “Sadly I have to take a beat and pause my Las Vegas residency. I was sick at the end of the last leg and all the way through my break. I hadn’t quite gotten the chance to get back to full health before shows resumed and now I’m sick again, and unfortunately, it’s all taken a toll on my voice.  And so on Doctors orders, I have no choice but to rest thoroughly. The remaining 5 weekends of this leg are being postponed to a later date. We are already working out the details and you will be sent the information asap.”
