At Adele's Vegas residency, intimacy is the ultimate luxury

March 20, 2023 "After scaling up to arenas and stadiums like her peers, it's in the controlled stillness of a theater stage-managed to match her songs' swirling moods that Adele seems to have found her place at last. Caesars Palace seats approximately 4,300, and even at its highest reaches there is an enclosed proximity to the space. "Weekends with Adele" makes that intimacy feel luxurious, though not with sprawling sets or scores of dancers: She might be in Vegas, but she hasn't gone Vegas. Instead, each production choice gently bends the possibilities of the place to her own brand.

+"Knowing that she has generally recorded her own backing vocals in the studio made for one of my favorite arrangements in the show, when she lets her trio of backup singers take the lead on the 21 standout "One and Only" and performs the 21 track's haunting, operatic background parts herself, under a dimmed spotlight.

Adele has always seemed disconnected from her generation of stars: old-fashioned in spirit and strategy, largely absent from social media. As New York Times critic Jon Pareles explained on an episode of Popcast, she's a holdover from the pre-streaming monoculture and a CD-era music industry, whose ballgown presentation and songbook all feel aggressively disconnected from the new frontiers of globalizing pop. She may have arrived at the height of London's 2000s soul-pop zeitgeist, but at this stage, her lyrics of nostalgia, regret and self-forgiveness feel aged. Which is precisely why I found her Vegas performance so moving: She is an artist of emotional archives, so it's thrilling to see her breathing new life, new drama, into her catalog. Even when the set list drew heavily from the archives of 19 or 21, each live arrangement felt urgent."

Holding back tears, she shared in one of her interludes that this residency was the happiest she had ever been onstage, and had affirmed that while she might not be a touring artist right now, she could indeed be a live artist.

"It hasn't always been easy to be a fan of Adele the live performer, and it might be a stretch to say that "Weekends with Adele" has made the experience accessible. There are only so many seats to be had across its 17 weekends (though there are rumors that the dates may be extended), and those with tickets also take on the not-so-hidden costs of travel and lodging. But in the context of a chaotic and punitive concert economy, she's delivered an evening worth the wait."

Las Vegas F1 Grand Prix preparations continue amid 'shakedown attempt to block views of the circuit over licensing rights'

Las Vegas F1 Grand Prix preparations continue amid 'shakedown attempt to block views of the circuit over licensing rights' The landmark Las Vegas Grand Prix will take place from November 16-18 Attending is likely to cost a fortune - with some VIP packages valued at $5m  DailyMail.com provides all the latest international sports news By Patrick Djordjevic and Alex Raskin Sports News Editor For Dailymail.com Updated: 19:06 EDT, 24 July 2023 Progression of the long-awaited Formula 1 course through Las Vegas is continuing to build ahead of the inaugural race in late November.  The viewing spectacle will come to life on November 16 through to race day on November 18. Now, construction continues in preparation for the much-hyped event less than four months away.  F1 Las Vegas' official Twitter account posted an update displaying the completed framing which will hold the 'larger-than-life LED screen' set to be positioned atop the paddock.  The 3.8-mile race will include several of Vegas' many landmarks, including the Bellagio fountains, Mandalay Bay, Caesars Palace, and the new ball-shaped MSG Sphere. Unlike other F1 races, Vegas' will take place on Saturday evening as opposed to Sunday afternoon, when most events typically take place. Formula 1 Las Vegas revealed construction on its framing for the LED screen was completed The inaugural  Las Vegas Grand Prix will send drivers 50 times around a 3.8-mile circuit  A general view as the car of Sergio Perez of Mexico and Red Bull is moved into position during the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix 2023 launch party on November 5 F1 has been granted permission to run the Las Vegas Grand Prix on the city's famed Strip until the year 2032. Restaurants and clubs along the circuit have learned F1 is charging at least $1,500 per person at venues along the racetrack for licensing rights during the Grand Prix, according to the New York Post.  'They are literally shaking people down saying they will obstruct views unless they pay them,' a source told the outlet.  'It seems insane that they are asking money for a public event that is taking place in the streets.' If owners decide to decline the reported request by F1 they may reportedly be met with 'barricades, stands and light stanchions' in the way of their track view.  'Las Vegas Grand Prix will use reasonable efforts to maintain sightedness from licensee's venue to the track/race,' the F1 overview proposal said, per the Post.  Those looking to attend the race are unlikely to do so cheaply. In a city known for its ability to burn a hole in one's wallet, packages are available to do that - and more.  In December, Caesars Entertainment revealed its 'Emperor Package,' which costs a whopping $5 million. George Russell drives during a demonstration along the Las Vegas Strip at a launch party for the Formula One Las Vegas Grand Prix on Saturday, November 5, 2022 The package includes: a dozen Paddock Club passes throughout race week, tickets to see Adele in concert at Caesars Palace, five nights in a 4,700-square-foot terrace suite overlooking the racetrack, around-the-clock butler service, use of a chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce, and a private meal with Michelin-starred chef Nobu Matsuhisa. The race in Vegas is expected to be the most expensive sporting event on Formula One's agenda. Prices start at $500 for a three-day general admission pass.  Those seats were only added after fans complained that hotels planned to purchase massive ticket blocks and repackage them into entertainment experiences ranging from $100,000 to $1 million.

"Verschwinde aus Öffentlichkeit" Adele plant weiteren Nachwuchs für 2023 11.02.2022, 17:45 Uhr Seit rund einem Jahr ist Adele wieder in festen Händen. Mit ihrem Partner plant die Sängerin nun offenbar auch eine gemeinsame Zukunft. Für das kommende Jahr wünsche sie sich Kinder, verrät sie - und deutet damit eine erneute musikalische Auszeit an. Der britische Superstar Adele hat in der "Graham Norton Show" über die abgesagten Las-Vegas-Shows gesprochen. Eher am Rande schnitt die 33-jährige Sängerin in der Folge der "BBC One"-Show, die Freitagabend ausgestrahlt wird, auch das sehr persönliche Thema Kinderwunsch an. Wie die "Daily Mail" vorab meldet, "bedauere" Adele die in letzter Minute und unter Tränen abgesagten Las-Vegas-Konzerte im Caesars Palace. Sie sei sich jedoch sicher, dass es eine "halbgare Show" geworden wäre, wenn sie stattgefunden hätte. Sie versprach außerdem, dass die Konzerte im Jahr 2022 stattfinden werden. Bei der Begründung kam dann die Familienplanung ins Spiel: Die Las-Vegas-Show werde "auf jeden Fall zu 100 Prozent dieses Jahr stattfinden", erklärte Adele und fügte hinzu: "Es muss dieses Jahr passieren, denn ich habe schon Pläne für das nächste Jahr. Stellen Sie sich vor, ich muss absagen, weil ich ein Baby bekomme ...", orakelte sie. Adele ist seit 2021 mit dem US-Sportagenten Rich Paul liiert. "Werde mich nicht komplett verstecken" Auf die Frage, ob Adele nach dem Las-Vegas-Engagement wieder aus der Öffentlichkeit verschwinden werde und wenn ja, für wie lange, antwortete sie: "Das werde ich auf jeden Fall tun, aber ich versuche, mich bewusst darum zu bemühen, nicht mehr so pingelig mit meiner Privatsphäre zu sein", so die Sängerin. "Ich versuche, nicht zwei völlig verschiedene Versionen von mir zu sein. Es ist anstrengend, an- und abzuschalten", fügte sie hinzu und wurde noch konkreter: "Ich werde in Bezug auf meine Musik verschwinden, aber man wird vielleicht ab und zu einen Blick auf mich werfen können und ich werde mich nicht komplett verstecken." Und dann wurde die Britin, die bei der Verleihung der Brit Awards Anfang der Woche in London mit einem riesigen Ring für Verlobungsgerüchte sorgte, in Bezug auf die kommende Auszeit noch deutlicher: "Ich brauche eine Weile, um mich wieder aufzuladen, und ich würde gerne mehr Kinder haben", so die vielfach preisgekrönte Künstlerin. Im Oktober 2021 hatte Adele mit der Single "Easy on Me" nach einer sechsjährigen Auszeit ihr umjubeltes Comeback gefeiert. Adele und Rich Paul sind zwar bereits seit Anfang 2021 zusammen, haben ihre Beziehung aber erst im Juli öffentlich gemacht, als sie gemeinsam ein NBA-Spiel besuchten. "Ich wollte damit nicht an die Öffentlichkeit gehen. Ich wollte einfach nur zu dem Spiel gehen. Ich liebe es einfach, in seiner Nähe zu sein. Ich liebe es einfach", hatte sie damals der "Vogue" erklärt. Die beiden waren schon eine Weile befreundet und hatten sich bereits vor Jahren auf einer Party kennengelernt, als Adele noch mit ihrem heutigen Ex-Mann Simon Konecki verheiratet war. Adele und Konecki waren ab 2011 liiert und ab 2017 verheiratet; der gemeinsame Sohn Angelo kam 2012 zur Welt. Im April 2019 gab Adeles Management die Trennung bekannt, Anfang 2021 folgte die Einigung im Scheidungsprozess.
