Final talks ongoing

Rumors are flying around that the Eagles are in line to take over from U2 and Dead & Company as the next regular act in the Las Vegas Sphere. TMZ reported that negotiations are ongoing to try to get the rock band on board for a residency.

The media outlet spoke to sources close to the matter and has no details about a potential timeframe for a decision. The Eagles started a farewell tour in September and the last one on the current schedule is in June in the Netherlands. TMZ speculated that an Eagles residency in the Sphere could take place during the fall and winter time.

Meanwhile, British singer Adele has paused her shows at Caesars Palace due to illness.

A major attraction

U2 – who opened up the Sphere to much fanfare on September 29 – will end their 40-show run on Saturday. The concerts are reportedly grossing about $1.8m each, which adds up to about $72m in total revenue across the entire stint.  

Other acts linked with the Sphere include Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Bon Jovi. Dead & Company, which is made up of former members of the Grateful Dead, is the next band confirmed to perform a significant number of performances at the venue. Their 24-show run will begin in May and last until July 13.

American rock band The Eagles are part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, have won six Grammys, and sold more than 200 million records globally.

Adele not feeling too well

In other Las Vegas showbiz news, Adele is pausing her Caesars Palace residency due to an ongoing health issue. She announced via Instagram on Tuesday night that all of her events through the end of next month will not go ahead. Her plan is to rest up and complete the shows at a later date.

she was “sick at the end of the last leg”

The 35-year-old explained that she was “sick at the end of the last leg” and during her entire break. This took a toll on her voice and her doctor advised her to rest. The first part of the residency at the Colosseum Theater took place from November 2022 to March 2023.

Tickets to her May and June shows are still available to buy online for more than $1,000. Adele is reportedly making $2m per show as part of this residency, which will add up to $68m if she manages to eventually complete all of the second leg’s dates and sell every ticket.
