Adele thanks fans for ‘soulful and heartbreaking interactions’ as she hails Las Vegas residency ‘life changing’ in heartfelt post ahead of final shows

Adele has thanked her fans for sharing ‘soulful and heartbreaking interactions’ during her ‘life changing’ Las Vegas residency.

The singer, 35, reflected on her shows in a heartfelt Instagram post on Friday, in which she shared a highlight reel of herself with her fans.

She embarked on her Weekends with Adele residency The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Nevada last year, with her run coming to an end on November 4.

In the montage, Adele could be seen as she hugged members of the crowd, signed autographs, received flowers and shed a tear on stage.

The musician wrote: ‘This residency, these shows have changed my life. I desperately needed to fall back in love with performing live again, and I have.’

She continued: ‘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 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.

‘All the simi dolls, friendship bracelets, flowers, facetime calls and flags. It’s crazy how joyful a show full of sad songs can be!! I’ve felt so much and learned so much about myself and you.

‘It’s humanised everything I thought was scary. Mostly though – it’s just made me realise how much I really enjoy being on stage, that I’m bl****y good at it and that it is 100% where I belong!

‘So let’s go one last time before I turn into a showgirl forever! Love you and I’ll see you on the other side soon x’

The update comes after Adele revealed she has stopped drinking for three and a half months while talking at her Vegas show last weekend.

She claimed she was ‘borderline alcoholic’ when she was in her 20s and admitted she was finding her new-found sobriety ‘boring’ and admitted she ‘misses alcohol.’

Adele said: ‘I stopped drinking maybe like three and a half months ago. It’s boring. I mean, I was literally borderline alcoholic for quite a lot of my twenties, but I miss it so much. I cut out caffeine.’

Talking to a fan who was drinking all day she added: ‘So enjoy your whiskey sour. I’m very, very jealous.’

In March, Adele revealed she once drank four bottles of wine before lunch during a Covid-19 lockdown.

According to the Daily Star, she told fans on Saturday night: ‘I remember when I came here in Covid, in lockdown, it was 11am and I was definitely like four bottles of wine in – like we all were.’
