Keith Urban sings an Adele hit in return to Caesars

Keith Urban is currently covering for Adele at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Saturday night, he covered one of her hits.

“Easy On Me” was the song, and maybe the message, as Urban returned to his Caesars Palace residency. Those in attendance (and we were not) report the country star said that when Caesars calls, you answer. He also said he is one of Adele’s biggest fans.

The moment Adele’s tune surfaced was deep in the show, when Urban moved to the center of the theater’s GA section. He sang out, “There ain’t no gold in this river that I’ve been washin’ my hands in forever. I know there is hope in these waters, but I can’t bring myself to swim,” while playing his unplugged six-string.

Urban had taken the Friday and Saturday dates over the weekend, and next Friday and Saturday. All four of those dates were originally to close the 24 “Weekends With Adele” shows.

There is no word on when Adele plans to reset that residency, which she dropped in haste on Jan. 19, citing COVID-related concerns within the production. The superstar is reportedly directing her production team to come up with a new design and direction for the stage show. (Go with, design: Simple: Direction: One way to the stage.)

Adele has not been heard from since telling British talk show host Graham Norton in February she “100-percent” plans to perform all of her postponed Caesars dates this year.

On March 20, CBS aired “An Evening With Adele,” originally recorded in September at the London Palladium. That show stands as her only live performance this year available to her fans in the U.S., including Las Vegas.

Cool Hang Alert

Noybel Gorgoy is headlining 8 p.m. Thursday at Gatsby’s Jazz Club inside Gambit Henderson at 2031 W. Sunset Road in Henderson (of course). We’re endorsing based on the “who” over the “what and where” here, as we’ve not yet been to Gatsby’s. I heard it’s pretty chic, and the talent on its roster is inarguable. Gorgoy has graced the Paul Shaffer and the Shaf-Shifters show at Cleopatra’s Barge at Caesars Palace, Clint Holmes’ “Between the Lines” show at Palazzo Theater and more recently Delilah at Wynn Las Vegas.

Gorgoy was also the “makeup artist” a few weeks ago on the Fox show “I Can See Your Voice” on Fox. She is touting original tunes, some soul, Latin, R&B, jazz and pop. Vegas keyboard (and keytar) virtuoso Otto Ehling is the music director. Tickets are $20, $10 for Las Vegas students (not including fees), go to noybelgorgoy.com.
