This residency, these shows have changed my life. I desperately needed to fall back in love with performing live again, and I have. I needed to reconnect with my songs and remember what they mean to me, and I have! Being on stage over the last year so up close and personal with… pic.twitter.com/Wkj39O8ozQ

Adele announced the residency run on social media.
“This residency, these shows have changed my life. I desperately needed to fall back in love with performing live again, and I have. I needed to reconnect with my songs and remember what they mean to me, and I have!” the 35-year-old superstar said. “Being on stage over the last year so up close and personal with an audience again after all these years has been a truly extraordinary restorative experience that I’ll never forget.
“All the hilarious, soulful, wild and heartbreaking interactions we’ve had are banked in my mind for life. The looks on your faces, seeing you laugh and cry together singing your hearts out and hoarding bags of confetti.”
She closed by saying, “It’s humanized everything I thought was scary. Mostly though — it’s just made me realize how much I really enjoy being on stage, that I’m bloody good at it and that it is 100% where I belong!”
Adele’s show has been a destination for fabulous celebrities. Paul McCartney, Jon Bon Jovi, Jeff Bezos, LeBron James, Shania Twain, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber are a mere partial list of those who have caught the superstar at the Colosseum.
The “Hello” singer has also featured a couple dozen Las Vegas string players, set up in a massive grid-pattered set at the back of the stage. Adele has many fabuous effects, including a flaming piano under a sheet of water for “Set Fire to the Rain.” But those squares, filled with Vegas players, is our favorite.
