Adele Bids Farewell to Las Vegas Residency, Leaving Fans Devastated

The British singing sensation, Adele, seems poised to wrap up her immensely lucrative Las Vegas residency, which has been nothing short of spectacular over the past two years. The megastar recently shared that her current series of ‘Weekends With…’ shows at the iconic Colosseum at Caesars Palace are likely to be her grand finale. In a candid moment on Friday, she quipped, “This really is the beginning of the end. There are no other f****** shows. I’m not going to be like, ‘Surprise!’ This is the end. It’s [the 100th and final show] the weekend before Thanksgiving, isn’t it? And that’s the last one. I don’t have any plans to be on stage indefinitely, really.”

Adele continued, weaving in a nugget of wisdom that sounds suspiciously like it should be cross-stitched on a throw pillow somewhere: “They say that if you want things and you are looking for things in life, you have to pay the universe and then it pays you back tenfold. I feel like that’s what’s happened with this show for me. My life is a thousand times better.” And in a tone both introspective and hilariously matter-of-fact, she clarified, “My life, not my career, not my music. I’m talking about my actual life. And I really, truly think that this show has been my best f****** friend throughout all of that. And I’m so genuinely sad.” Now, isn’t that just rich, finding friendship in a stage that can sometimes feel more like a high-pressure cooker?

In an unexpected twist of star-studded fate, the beloved actress Meryl Streep graced Adele’s show on Friday, prompting our diva to channel her inner Madeline Ashton from the cult classic film *Death Becomes Her*. The sheer delight radiating off the stage was palpable as Adele offered a graceful curtsey upon spotting the Oscar-winning luminary in the front row. “Hello. What a f****** honour. I love you,” she exclaimed, wrapping her arms around the Hollywood icon. Because really, who doesn’t want to hug Meryl Streep?

However, insiders at Caesars Palace shared with *The Sun* that performing just those two shows a week has, unfortunately, “taken its toll” on Adele. The London-born pop queen is no stranger to vocal cord troubles and has faced surgery after grappling with her vocal health. With whispers of her throat issues leading to multiple show cancellations earlier this year, a source disclosed, “There was talk that Vegas would be the start of Adele doing a lot more big performances. But plans and opportunities were simply abandoned…because of issues like health worries, fears for protecting her voice and desire to be close to family.” As if stardom isn’t an exhausting enough pursuit, right?
