Adele being offered mega-bucks for Vegas residency
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 14 October 2013
Adele has been offered up to $40 million to sign on for a Vegas residency, according to the Sun On Sunday. And apparently Elton John has been urging the singer to commit to the proposed big bucks Las Vegas venture during regular baby chats on Skype. And I’m not even making this up. Though who knows, perhaps the Sun’s source was.
Anyway, said ‘insider’ told the tab: “Stacks of Las Vegas casinos are desperate to get Adele on billboards as a headliner in this town. The highest figure being touted is $40 million but it could be even higher. Elton’s been a really good friend to her and they’ve been Skypeing to share parental advice. But he is a businessman too, and has been telling Adele Vegas residency could secure a really good future for her family”.
Though, while the Sun is tipping Adele for a Vegas residency, the Daily Star reckons the singer is on board to play Dusty Springfield in a forthcoming biopic, filming for which could begin early next year. The film will focus on the recording of Springfield’s 1969 album ‘Dusty In Memphis’, so perhaps Adele could do the movie and residency at the same time, Memphis and Vegas being a mere 1400 miles apart.
