After two years of mesmerizing performances, Adele bid an emotional farewell to her residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Saturday, November 23, 2024.

A Heartfelt Goodbye

During her final performance, Adele addressed the audience with raw emotion, confessing, “I don’t know when I’m next going to perform again. I will miss it terribly, and I will miss you terribly.” She further revealed her apprehension about what lies ahead, candidly admitting, “I’m actually s—ing myself about what I am going to do. I don’t have any f—ing plans.”

The Grammy-winning artist also shared a personal reason behind her residency decision, stating, “I chose to do a residency so I could keep [my son’s] life normal, and I did do that.”


Why Adele Chose Las Vegas

Adele’s aversion to extensive touring played a significant role in her decision to take up the residency. She humorously noted, “I chose to do a residency mainly because I f—ing hate touring.” The stable schedule allowed her to maintain a sense of normalcy for her family while delivering unforgettable performances to her fans.


A Full-Circle Moment with Celine Dion

One of the most poignant moments of Adele's residency came on October 26, 2024, when her idol, Celine Dion, attended a show. Dion, who opened The Colosseum with her own residency in 2003, surprised Adele, prompting an emotional reaction during her performance of When We Were Young.

Adele later shared on social media, “The Colosseum was the only venue I wanted to play in Vegas because it was built for her. I have a picture of her right next to the stage that I touch every night before I walk on. She came to the show this weekend and it was a surprise and it was a MOMENT!!”


What’s Next for Adele?

Looking ahead, Adele plans to take a much-needed break, stepping away from the music scene to rest and explore other creative pursuits. She had previously hinted at her plans, saying, “I want to take a big break after this, and I think I want to do other creative things, just for a little while.”


Legacy of Weekends With Adele

The Weekends With Adele residency not only showcased Adele’s unparalleled vocal talent but also highlighted her genuine connection with her audience. From intimate moments to powerhouse performances, the residency became a defining chapter in her career and a cherished memory for fans.
