Hello, New Zealand!
Quote:
A music promoter says he's working on bringing two of the world's hottest acts - Guns N' Roses and Adele - to New Zealand.
In an interview with Fairfax, promoter Paul Dainty said he was attempting to bring both acts here before the end of next year.
He wants Guns N' Roses to perform at Auckland's Western Springs Stadium, and Adele to be hosted at Eden Park.
If successful, both stadium-sized shows are likely to be huge drawcards.

 Eden Park is NZ's largest stadium with 50k+ capacity.

Key word is "trying" cuz they fail every time. The good news is that Sheena got reported like three times just from that thread so it shouldn't be long before "it" gets banned again for the zillionth time.

I forgot to tell you guys, I went on a road trip with my friends last week and we did Carpool Karaoke. Conveniently, I was in charge of the CDs, so I LOADED it up with Adele songs.  I know I included "Hello," "When We Were Young," "Send My Love," "All I Ask," and "Someone Like You." There may have been another one I included as well. The next road trip, I'm adding "Rolling in the Deep" and "Skyfall."

Imagine next year following the Grammys/ her tour when the era ends and everything here goes dark for who knows how long before Adele says hello again, presumably at the tail end of the decade.

This pretty much sums it up, everything should be ok in the end however based off of this sad yet hilarious yet touching post I just stumbled upon:

Next year, I'll have spent about a quarter of my life waiting for this album. And I know that isn't the case for most of you (most people in this base are older than me), and nobody really cares, and if you do it just sounds really pathetic, but it's true. And trust me, waiting for something for a quarter of your life, a time that seems to only continue to lengthen, is really enough to drive you crazy. I almost can't remember a time anymore that I was listening to music and not waiting for Adele to release her third album. Adele is music, to me.
Time doesn’t guarantee quality. Personally, with the time she’s taken, I think she’s almost reached the point of equal risk. If she released a crap album in 2013, the impact would’ve been a heck of a lot less. But if releases a crap album tomorrow, she loses the public who had no strong investment, and us because we’ll be pissed that she made us wait four years for nothing (unless we stay just because of that). She releases a great album in 5+ more years, she’s long lost the public because their small investment in her certainly didn’t last that time, and most of us will be gone because we’d have become tired of being disappointed and lead along, trying to keep the hope alive for as long as we could take.
Being a fan of your favorite musician isn't supposed to make you feel like s•. And it didn’t, watching her come out of nowhere in 2011 with 21, or making the world fall in love with her with her hilarious interviews and banter, or telling stories in her blogs, or releasing Skyfall, or winning just about every award in the books. And maybe the fact that it does now just means I'm the selfish one and all of this means too much to me. But being a fan shouldn't consist of watching everybody else release album after album and do tons of interviews and embark on multiple tours and how much of a great time their fans have while you're still sitting around depressing yourself over fruitless rumors and begging for some real explanation (that might make us less angry, actually), or sometimes just hoping for her to go outside or tweet about someone else just for confirmation of life. All of it, trying to bring back the feelings of an amazing era of her career and our lives that’s now long over. But we do it because we're the loyal ones and we want this album and what those years were more than just about anything. Intentionally or not, pressured or not, maybe she ought to stop treating us as a drop in the bucket and slapping us in the face as we're the few that still remember.
I still love Adele, I really really do. And for me, I know I always will. But I can't do this forum stuff anymore, feeling good and then being reminded that there's no reason to over and over again really sucks.
See you guys Q4, 2016, whenever she decides to remember too.
Edit, 2/3/16: Dear self of almost a year ago,
Again, cool your ****. I know you are tired of the torture of that is waiting for Adele, but writing delusional rants doesn't get anywhere. Fun facts: You do still love Adele, and she actually does care about our crazy asses, even though she doesn't go around tweeting and ****. Also you are addicted to ATRL and will miss your fellow DDs too much...your break will last a few days tops lmao. Anyway the album's called 25 and it comes out in November and everything about it will be worth the Adele Drought and then some.

Not Craydreams openly resurfacing  I think that disappearance only actually lasted like a week. I read that and it didn't even sound like myself. Like if I saw someone else post that now I'd think they need help...
Anyway, I'm not here for anyone getting that messed up waiting for A4, because as you can see I went back and "told" myself how it all works out in the end. And, not to jinx anything, but I feel that end's sooner than 2020.

We're just doing it all wrong. Adele doesn't need a fan base thread on ATRL, neither in any other pop forum. She just wants to be an irrelevant bitch and sing for 5 persons in a British pub. That's the truth.

She didn't ask to be so famous. We just gave it all for her.
