Singer Adele has been performing as a resident at Caesars Palace Colosseum in Las Vegas since November of last year. She’s having such a good time and she’s making so much money, say a million dollars a session, that she’s extended her stay until November of this year.
Following in the footsteps of artists such as Elvis Presley, Elton John, Mariah Carey and her highly admired Celine Dion – she has a frame of chewing gum used by the My heart will go on singer in her house –, the 35-year-old British woman gives herself up and soul every Friday and Saturday night to their fans. “Singing for 4,000 people for 34 nights hasn’t been enough, and I know it, that’s why I’m coming back,” she emotionally revealed in March to announce the extension of her residency.
When this experience is over, Adele could write a book. At the moment, she is recording herself for a documentary. The year of the interpreter of songs like Hello or Someone like you in the city of lights has given a lot of itself.
The last anecdote was carried out less than a week ago, when the artist interrupted her show to defend a fan from a security guard who was forcing him to sit down. “Are you pestering him for standing up? Can you please leave him alone? They won’t bother you again, honey… enjoy the show. We have all come here to enjoy ”, she pronounced after interrupting the song she sang.
His show Weekends with Adele has made many more headlines. Her fans have made videos run through the networks with very exciting moments such as when she verified that one of her followers attended the show accompanied by a photograph of her deceased woman, whom he hugged while she sang; or when one of the spectators asked through a poster for the singer to help her open an envelope that revealed the sex of the baby she was expecting. “I never thought I would get so excited about something like this!” The artist cried through tears.
But there has been more: he has signed a wedding dress, he has gotten off the stage to sing Las mañanitas to a Mexican fan for his birthday and he has given a speech to stop the trend of throwing objects at artists at concerts: “Have you noticed how people are forgetting about the show and just throwing shit on stage? I dare you to throw something at me. I’ll kill you”.
The chemistry with her audience is such that she has opened up emotionally in her speeches on stage. A few days ago she explained that she “is eager to have a new child” with her boyfriend, sports agent and businessman Rich Paul. This is how she explained it to a pregnant viewer during one of her last sessions: “The truth is that I really want to be a mother again soon. In fact, I’ve been writing my lists of possible names. So every time I see or hear one that I like, I write it down on my mobile”. Adele has a son, Angelo, 10, with her ex-husband, Simon Konecki.
Although she looks radiant on stage, with dresses by firms such as Givenchy, Stella McCartney or Giorgio Armani, she has also suffered some health mishap: a serious jock itch that was triggered by sweat and the girdle she wears in performances and a fainting spell. just before going on stage due to severe sciatica pain.
Since last June, many of these moments have been recorded to make a documentary that will show Adele in its purest form.
