Goodbye to Las Vegas Residency
With Adele going over a couple of seasons (almost two years) in her brilliant performances, the Curtain of the Vegas Residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace has been eventually dropped. One of the most acclaimed vocalists and performers, the 16 time Grammy winner has been a long time favorite of the fans. Adele on Saturday, November 24, when she delivered the last ‘Weekends With Adele’ show, said that she is grateful to her fans. That was the final show in support of her latest album that confirmed her status as one of the greatest entertainers of her time.
With every show being a farewell show, Adele took time to message her fans to consider the time of her residency as a special time. She used the opportunity to recount memories of when her life changed in a way that allowed her to focus on her career. Her son Angelo and her life partner Rich Paul of two years were remembered by Adele, who was visibly choked by emotion. It was evident to the fans what compelled Adele to reveal the reasons for her choice of a residency as opposed to going on a tour.
“ To my son, I decided to do a residency maybe because I f—— hate touring,” she stated while in tears, as videos of fans broadcast on X (formerly Twitter) showed. It is clear her decision stemmed from the wish to maintain order in her family home while building her career. Adele thanked Angelo, thanking him for the patience and the understanding he extended during the time when they were separated due to her residency. “I decided to do a residency to make his life as normal as possible. And I did make it normal, yes.
Looking Ahead With Love and Appreciation
Adele, looking forward to moving on, said, “I am really excited to spend quality time with Angelo. Now I get to be with him on the weekends cos obviously, he can’t always come. I feel joyful but at the same time a bit sad.” Her commitment to her son created reasonable boundaries in her profession as she wanted to be present in her son’s life as well. “So I love you to bits. I Love all of you, just be patient for me”, she concluded on an emotional note.
Adele’s stunning performances too were hard to forget as they displayed the wife-mother attitude and also managing to delight the fans and her determination to entertain her audience. From soulful renditions of her chart-topping hits to candid moments of vulnerability, Adele’s Las Vegas residency was more than just a concert series—it was a testament to her artistry and humanity. They will probably remember the “Weekends With Adele,” and the big promise with which the singer leaves the stage: There will be more emotions in life.
Adele last expressed her love towards her spouse, Rich Paul, and charmingly addressed him as ‘husband’ during her final performance in Las Vegas. Since the summer when the two decided to make their romance public, the lovers have never left each other. It was not a surprise when rich Paul was called ‘husband’ by Adele even during the residency shows somewhere further down. “What really matters is knowing you’re out there, always bigging me up and supporting me, helping me become whatever person I wanted to be. It’s priceless,” she addressed him the way it was intended, emotionally. She noted how there were several times in her life where she was worn out or was upset.
A Special Visit From Celine Dion
Sharing such an affair with the audience, Adele made it clear that she needed the audience to pay attention because Celine Dion, one of her idols, attended her show on October 26. This encounter with Dion was unique. The two women hugged in front of the audience, which made the performer so emotional that it was difficult for the audience to persuade her not to cry. “I cried for a whole week. A whole week,” Adele said, recalling the emotional impact of Dion’s visit. The significance of that night was not lost on her, as she admitted that performing at The Colosseum had always been a dream inspired by Dion’s own legendary residency. “It was just such a full-circle moment for me. Because that’s the only reason I ever wanted to be in here,” she confessed.
Adele’s final moments on stage weren’t just about farewells—they were a celebration of the support systems and inspirations that fueled her journey. From Rich Paul’s steadfast encouragement to the awe-inspiring presence of Celine Dion, Adele’s Las Vegas residency became more than a performance series. It was a testament to her artistry, personal growth, and the relationships that continue to shape her life and career.
A Heartfelt Goodbye to Fans
Adele is among the singers who resonate with her audience, and she saved her final thanks to those who stood by her for two years, even during her residency. The “Someone Like You” singer has expressed strong emotions as expected and gratitude as well when she was reminiscing about the time. During her last show, she addressed the fans and said how special this residency was for her and how would she feel about performing it in the future. “The residency has been wonderful,” Adele said, with her voice really sad. “I will miss you terribly. I don’t know when I’m next going to perform again.” Explaining how difficult it was for her to plan what would come next. “I’m not doing anything else. I am actually f—ing myself over what I am going to do. I have no f—ing plans.”
Feeling out of the loop, she, however, assured her audience that she would not make them wait for a long time. “Of course, I’ll be back,” she replied, her voice steadier, but definitely more vulnerable. “I’m slinging flaming my stick and things like that, this is what I’m most of the time.” “The only thing I’m good at is singing and things like that. I just don’t know when I want to next come on stage, but I love you.” She acknowledged the effort her fans made to see her perform in Las Vegas, showing her appreciation for their unwavering support. “I know it’s a real task to come to Vegas to see someone play. It’s just what I needed for this season of my life.”
Looking back
While looking back at her two-year residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Adele pondered over the significance of the occasion. Although the conclusion of her “Weekends With Adele” series was overwhelming, she acknowledged that it had actually happened a few weeks earlier, following a surprise guest appearance.
Adele’s residency started in November year “2022, serving as a very important event in her career. The residency soon turned into a beautiful story stretching over two years and was concluded by the 100th performance of her show “Weekends with Adele” that night, which showed the power of her music and the connection she has with her audience. Despite the fact that her goodbye was sincerely grateful and pleased with what she got, the bitter part of her farewell was due to the sadness of saying goodbye to this phase. Adele had earlier told her fans in November that she was “genuinely sad” about the residency coming to a close.
Her farewell was rather raw and painful. She also stated her intention of having a break from performing after the residency ends, in September, which added even more weight to the ending of this relationship. As Adele prepares to leave Las Vegas, she embarks on a journey of looking back and looking forward. Besides being just a saga of a few shows, her stay was matchless, enabling her to form ties with her fans, her music, and herself in the deepest possible means. The future still remains a mystery, although one sure thing is that Adele’s voice and physical presence will still be in the minds of her fans, and her comeback will most likely be received with intense excitement.
