Leona Lewis has announced her Las Vegas residency.
The former X Factor winner will play 33 shows at Vegas' Voltaire at the Venetian Resort, starting on November 1, and finishing on January 3.
“I saw Celine Dion in Vegas. In the back of my mind when I saw her, I just visualised myself there", Lewis said on the residency. “All these years later, it’s actually happening. It’s crazy and amazing".
The singer had previously said: “I’m elated to bring this show to Voltaire as it’s been years in the making, made specially for my fans. Christmas has always been such a special time for me and my family and there's nothing quite like the energy of Las Vegas during the holidays. Can’t wait to take the stage!”.
Announcing these gigs, The Venetian shared this statement on their website: “Delivering an enchanting evening of career-spanning records, including Bleeding Love, Better In Time, and her new Christmas classic One More Sleep, Leona’s impressive vocals will be on full display inside the intimate venue with a must-see Christmas event designed to capture the spirit of the season. Leona Lewis’ Holiday Residency will offer guests of all ages the ultimate way to celebrate Christmas in Las Vegas with a one-of-a-kind holiday experience not to be missed".
Previously, Leona Lewis had said that welcoming the arrival of her daughter Carmal in 2022, changed her approach to her career.
“I feel like it definitely unlocks a different part of your brain, You do start seeing things differently. It distills everything in such a way that you are just kind of picking out what’s really right for you", she said.
"What I truthfully really want to do. I feel like it cuts out a lot of the noise because you literally just don’t have the time to do everything, so you just pick out the golden nuggets. I was definitely a big people pleaser – make people happy, be there for everyone. But sometimes the power is in the ‘no’".
“It changes you as a person. I keep saying, like, it’s not even a new chapter, it’s a new book for me. This is a whole new life and I’m relearning myself".
