Adele, 35, has been in Las Vegas most of the year with her Weekends With Adele residency, and fans have flocked from around the world to see her.<\/p>\n
However, despite its success, Adele has made the decision to stop having close-up selfies with fans due to her fears of catching Covid.<\/p>\n
The Hello hitmaker has stopped performing in her usual section beside fans after a viral outbreak of Covid in Caesars Palace.<\/p>\n
Adele became worried when her friends and crew started “dropping like flies”.<\/p>\n
Sharing the news with her adoring fans, Adele said: “Normally I would absolutely stop and chat and all of that and hear all about your life and be the nosey person that I am.<\/p>\n

Honestly, my immune system is in the gutter and I want to be close to you and stuff like that, but I just can’t risk it. I am a germaphobe, so I might be being dramatic. But they all have COVID.<\/p>\n “But I use hand gel a lot. Like If I meet someone, I’m like, ‘Hi, it’s so nice to meet you.’ And then there’s hand gel in my hand.<\/p>\n “I’ve always been like that, but just wanted to let you know I am hanging on for dear f**king life to play for you guys.<\/p>\n “I got the flu in my last break two days after my final show, and I was thrilled. I don’t mind getting the flu during my break. I don’t mind getting sick during my break.<\/p>\n “I have got nine weeks left. This is my 26th weekend. It was my 50th show last Saturday, which felt like such a milestone.”<\/p>\n Remembering her earlier cancellation of the Vegas residency Adele then quipped: “Because, dunno if you heard, but like a year and a half ago, I had to cancel the first leg. So getting to 50 was like a dream. So I’m so thrilled.”<\/p>\n The singer had faced fierce backlash after the residency was canceled with less than 24 hours to go before it began.<\/p>\n She took to social media to share a tearful statement about the cancellation and said delivery delays and the coronavirus meant they couldn’t make it work.<\/p>\n Following the success of her first residency, Adele announced her second which is due to end in November. It has been reported there are talks to bring her back for a third round.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/79\/590x\/secondary\/Adele-will-no-longer-takes-selfies-with-fans-due-to-fears-of-catching-Covid-4961768.jpg?r=1694781420461\")
