However, back in 2022, there was speculation that Adele would hold a world tour and part of her tour stops would be South Africa. However, as soon as social media was hyping the news, it was quickly dismissed as fake news. As reported by the Citizenat the time:
A fan concept of Adele’s world tour date has stirred up Twitter after many people believed the award-winning singer was coming to their shores.
Now, it seems that the same concept world tour poster has reared its falsified head again and created a furore with the expectation that Adele was on her way to South Africa.
Adele is not coming to South Africa
It would seem that another Twitter user took to the timeline and reposted the same Weekends with Adele concept poster which included South Africa as part of the tour pit stops.
