Leona Lewis announces Las Vegas residency at Voltaire following in the footsteps of Kylie Minogue, Christina Aguilera and Jason Derulo
The Grammy-nominated singer, 40, will take to the stage at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas this holiday season with, A Starry Night, performing her first ever live shows in the United States.
Leona will transform the glitz hotel into a winter wonderland for a set of exclusive performances running from November 1 until January 3.
The X Factor winner will perform her hits Bleeding Love, Better In Time and Christmas classic One More Sleep during the Christmas spectacular at the intimate venue.
The British star said it is a 'dream' come true to have her own show in Sin City, which has been 'years in the making'.
She 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!'
Sharing the news on Instagram, Leona added: 'A dream, years in the making. Coming to life in Vegas this November!
'I am so excited to officially announce my residency at Voltaire at @venetianvegas. Can't wait to share this new chapter with you'.
A Starry Night is intended for all ages with general admission tickets starting at $75 (£56) with VIP packages also available for purchase from August 1.
Over at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace this Christmas Dolly Parton will be taking to the stage for her residency with prices ranging from £1,500 to £4,000.
Leona will also follow the likes of Adele, Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson, Rod Stewart, Elton John, Cher, Janet Jackson, Bruno Mars and many more.
However it was Britney Spears' Britney: Piece of Me residency in Sin City, which ran for four years from 2013 at the Axis at Planet Hollywood, that caught Leona's eye originally 11 years ago.
Despite it being unknown what Leona will be paid for her 33 date residency, she admitted back in 2014 she would be very keen to have her own show due to the staggering paycheck.

Speaking to the Metro in 2014, she said: 'You get paid so much money to just go and do your show every single night. It would be amazing! I would love that.
'I want to go and see Britney. I am wondering how great that will be, though, as she is only performing two nights per month which I don't really understand. Two shows a month? Probably $10million per show!?
'I'm sure it will be incredible but I am intrigued to see how that would work.'
Last week, Leona was made an OBE for services to music and charity in an an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle.
She looked incredible in a blush pink dress which she teamed with a matching hat as she was awarded the achievement by King Charles.
The singer won the third series of The X Factor in 2006 and went on to achieve success in the music industry.
Her debut studio album, Spirit, became one of the best-selling albums of the 2000s and the lead single, Bleeding Love, was the best-selling single of 2007.
Leona was the first British female solo artist to reach the top five with eight singles, beating out Olivia Newton-John's record of seven.
The British singer-songwriter from Islington, north London, has also been nominated for seven BRIT Awards and three Grammys and has performed on Broadway, TV and the silver screen.
Outside her musical talents, Leona has thrown her support behind many charitable causes and activism.
She has a particular passion for animal rights, publicly speaking out against animal testing and voicing her support for animal activism, sustainability and conservation.
In December 2019, Leona and her husband, Dennis Jauch, opened a vegan cafe in Pasadena called Coffee and Plants, partnering with the National Forest Association to plant a tree for every cup they sell.
They expanded to their second location in Studio City earlier this year and the cafe also works in partnership with Hopefield Animal Sanctuary, with proceeds of select items donated to the charity.
Leona has campaigned for the fight against HIV/AIDS, Save The Children's initiative to stop child hunger at Christmas, to honour the NHS and to raise awareness of children's mental health.
She has also worked alongside The Prince's Trust, Teenage Cancer Trust, WWF and American Red Cross as well as performing live during the pandemic to raise funds for COVID-19 initiatives.
Leona is now a proud mum to daughter Carmel, three, who she shares with husband of six years, Dennis Jauch.

Kim Zolciak admits she used daughter's modeling earnings to pay bills out of desperation
Kim Zolciak admitted to stealing her daughter Ariana Biermann's money on Thursday — and the model watched her mom's confession from the front row of a live audience. The 47-year-old appeared on Watch What Happens Live, where she told host Andy Cohen that she spent all of her daughter's modeling income from her teen years - but she insisted that she only used it to pay bills out of desperation amid her home foreclosure drama and her ugly divorce from her estranged husband Kroy Biermann, 39. Elsewhere in the interview, the former Real Housewives Of Atlanta star revealed that she had moved on with a new man after splitting from the ex-NFL player, though she kept his identity a secret. While speaking of turning to her children for financial supporting, Kim claimed that 'the rug was pulled out from the Zolciaks.' She said: 'I was left holding the bag for the family, and yeah. . . ' Zolciak also confirmed that it wasn't just 23-year-old Ariana's money that went to paying for necessities, as her daughter Brielle, 28, also pitched in money 'for the bills and stuff,' though it sounded as if she at least had the option to consent to giving up her money. Ariana previously claimed on her reality series Next Gen NYC that her mother and stepfather didn't tell her that they had used all of the money she had earned from modeling gigs and influencer jobs. However, Zolciak appeared to have worked things out with her daughter, as Ariana didn't look overly angry with her mother during the segment, and she beamed widely when Zolciak and Cohen talked about more upbeat topics. The reality TV star added that she had already repaid Ariana's money that had gone toward bills, and she suggested that she had 'spreadsheets' of what her daughter had made over the years to balance further down the road. But Cohen didn't buy that Zolciak had done full due diligence on her debts to her second-oldest daughter. He quipped: 'I don't imagine you have any spreadsheets.' Zolciak admitted: 'I don't have — I don't even know how to do it!' She was more animated during her appearance when the reality star admitted she was seeing a new man after splitting from Biermann. Kim said: 'He's just great. You know, I sat in the house and just worked and tried to take care of everything for 20 months, and then I finally met somebody great.' She didn't reveal her new man's identity, but she did say that a mutual friend had introduced them. Kim also indicated that things were tense with her estranged husband, though the pressure seemed to have gone down a bit after she had moved out of their mansion outside of Atlanta into her own home. She said: 'I would definitely prefer to communicate more regarding the children, but it's just not there right now.' The exes share four minor children: Kroy 'KJ' Jr., 14; Kash, 12; and fraternal twins Kane and Kaia, 11. Kim's adult daughters, Brielle and Ariana, both come from previous relationships.

Iconic rock singer forced to reschedule tour after suffering painful injury as fans left devastated and concerned
AN ICONIC rock singer has been forced to reschedule their tour after enduring a painful injury. Stevie Nicks, 77, has shared with her fans how due to a recent injury, she will need time to recover before taking to the stage again. 5 5 5 The Fleetwood Mac icon fractured her shoulder and will need to recover throughout the summer and early fall. Her August and September tour dates will soon be rescheduled, with her October tour dates remaining unchanged. A statement was shared on Stevie's Instagram page. The message read, "Due to a recent injury resulting in a fractured shoulder that will require recovery time, Stevie Nicks' scheduled concerts in August and September will be rescheduled. "Please note that October dates will be unaffected. "Stevie looks forward to seeing everyone soon and apologizes to the fans for this inconvenience." Stevie was originally set to kick off her tour in August. The earliest fans can hope to see the iconic rocker in concert after her shoulder injury will be in the autumn. She is due to perform on October 1 in Portland, Oregon. Some fans, who were due to see her perform at the now-rescheduled shows, have expressed their upset under the post. Fleetwood Mac fans are convinced Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are 'getting back together' after spotting 'clues' "NOOOOOOOOO I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE NEXT WEEK," said one. "I was so excited to go for my birthday. Wishing you a speedy recovery all the same," added another. But most of the comments underneath the post were wishing Stevie well and begging for her speedy recovery. "Heal quickly and safely goddess," penned one. "Get well soon! We will all be waiting on you," added another. "DONT TAKE UNNECESSARY RISKS STEVIE," demanded a third. While a third joked, "Someone was supposed to bubble wrap her!!" The news of Stevie's injury comes after the news of her out-of-print album Buckingham Nicks would soon be reissued. The album was a collaborative LP with her then-lover Lindsey Buckingham. The project preceded the musicians joining a revamped Fleetwood Mac lineup. The announcement of the reissuing of the LP came after Stevie posted a picture with her cursive handwriting that said 'And if you go forward…' Then, just 30 minutes later, Lindsey shared a post of his own that completed the lyric, which read: '… I'll meet you there.' Lindsey and Stevie began dating in the late 1960s and went on to form the musical duo, Buckingham Nicks, shortly after. They joined Fleetwood Mac in 1974 and found instant success with the band - catapulting all five members, including Mick, John McVie, and Christine McVie, into worldwide sensations. Although they were at the height of their careers and continued to have to work together in the same band, Stevie and Lindsey officially broke up in 1976. 5 5

Grammy-nominated singer axes entire tour after admitting he ‘didn't sell enough tickets'
A GRAMMY-nominated star has admitted he has been forced to scrap his entire upcoming tour due to low ticket sales. In brutally honest videos on his social media pages, the artist said he 'aimed too high' with his scheduled dates, and admitted the tour had to end. 3 JP Saxe, who in 2021 was nominated for hit song If The World Was Ending with singer Julia Michaels, shared a video four days ago saying that unless he sold 20,000 more tickets, the tour would have to be pulled. 'I'm extremely embarrassed to tell you this, but I'm going to tell you anyway,' JP Saxe said in videos posted to Instagram and TikTok. 'If I don't sell 20 or so thousand tickets to my tour in the next 48 hours, it's going to be cancelled. 'If we're just not in a place yet to sell out these 2,000-, 3,000-cap venues – that's fine. It's always been my goal to connect deeply, not widely, and I stand by that. 'But just in case you were waiting till the week of or night of to buy a ticket – that approach just isn't going to work, because there won't be a show to buy a ticket to. 'So whether that happens or not, I'm grateful to you for caring about my songs, and I hold on to a sliver of hope that I will see you in the fall.' The Make Yourself At Home tour was planned to run for 32 dates across America, starting in September and running through to the end of October. Unfortunately, yesterday he confirmed that, despite an influx in sales, it wasn't enough to keep his tour afloat. Thanking fans for selling a few thousand extra tickets, a follow-up video saw him tell fans: 'I am beyond grateful to every one of you who bought one. 'Those few thousand tickets are a reminder that being transparent in failure sometimes can be more powerful than the façade of success – a reminder of how wonderful it can be to ask for help and watch a community come together. 'This really was the nicest the internet has ever been to me.' Tickets will be fully refunded to the original ticketbuyer, with Saxe saying they will 'come with a small side of immense gratitude from a dorky ginger Canadian'. Following the announcement, Saxe also posted a guest column in Variety explaining the situation further, saying that while he was embarrassed, he felt like honesty was the best policy. 'The industry standard in this situation is to offer some ego-saving explanation – 'wrong timing', 'new opportunities,' 'a scheduling conflict,' 'illness,' 'global warming…' 'What you're not supposed to say is: 'Hey, I guess people aren't really f**king with me right now.' 'I aimed too high – my bad.' 3
