Keep A Child Alive's 5th Annual Black Ball at Hammerstein Ballroom, New York, America - 13 Nov 2008
A host of stars hit the red carpet in New York last night in the name of a good cause. Justin Timberlake, Jessica Alba, Tyra Banks, Elijah Woods, Iman and David Bowie were just some of those who stepped out for Keep A Child Alive's 5th Annual Black Ball. The event was hosted by singer and actress Alicia Keys in order to support the organisation, which provides life-saving anti-retroviral treatment, care and support services to children and their families with HIV/AIDS in Africa and the developing world. Iman co-hosted the cocktail party, which was followed by a live auction and dinner at the Hammerstein Ballroom. On the night, Queen Latifah was honoured for her humanitarian work, as was Simon Fuller, the brains behind the 'Idol Gives Back'. There were also musical performances from Justin Timberlake, Chris Daughtry, Adele, and Emmanuel Jelq.

Adele is taking a one-month break from her Las Vegas residency as she deals with health issues. The “Hello” singer, 35, released a statement via Instagram on February 27 telling her fans that she’s postponing her next five Weekends with Adele events on medical advice from her doctors. “Sadly I have to take a beat and pause my Vegas residency. I was sick at the end of the last leg and all the way through my break,” she began her statement.

“I hadn’t quite gotten the chance to get back to full health before the shows resumed and now I’m sick again, and unfortunately it’s all taken a toll on my voice,” Adele continued. “And so on Doctors orders I have no choice but to rest thoroughly.”

The Grammy Award winner said that her ten shows in March will take place on “a later date” and that fans will get the information soon. In her caption, Adele reiterated her apology to her fans, writing, “I love you, I’ll miss you like mad and I’m sorry for the inconvenience x.”

Adele kicked off her residency at the Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace in November 2022. She had to delay the start of her residency in January 2022 because of COVID-19. “I’m so sorry, but my show ain’t ready,” she said through tears in a video filmed the day before her show was set to start. “We’ve tried absolutely everything we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you, but we’ve been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID.”

Adele performed her first show for her residency on November 18, 2022, and she was in tears during the big concert moment. She wrapped up the first leg of her residency in March 2023, but she did a second leg that finished in November 2023. Adele decided to give more to her fans by extending her shows in Sin City after leg 2. Her final date for her Las Vegas residency is currently scheduled for June 15.

In addition, the “Easy on Me” singer recently announced that she’s performing several shows in Munich, Germany in August. “I haven’t played in Europe since 2016!” she wrote on Instagram when she shared the big news. “I couldn’t think of a more wonderful way to spend my summer and end this beautiful phase of my life and career with shows closer to home during such an exciting summer.”
