Urban's Las Vegas residency was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the country music star is still making up for lost shows. Urban was only able to perform four shows before the pandemic shut down the live music industry in 2020.
The "Blue Ain't Your Color" singer resumed the residency in September 2021.

Adele revealed in a video shared to social media on Jan. 21 that all 13 of her shows at the Colosseum would not take place.
"Hi. Listen, I'm so sorry, but my show ain't ready," the singer said in a video statement as she became choked up. "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."

Adele said "half" of her team and crew have contracted the virus, making it "impossible to finish the show."
"I can't give you what I have right now," she said, teary-eyed. "And I'm gutted, I'm gutted. I'm sorry it's so last minute," Adele continued. "We've been awake for over 30 hours now, trying to figure it out."
