Maroon 5 are clearly having the best time in Las Vegas, Nevada. Frontman Adam Levine recently shared the band’s thoughts on how to make their time in Sin City as exciting as possible.
Adam Levine Talks Maroon 5’s Las Vegas Residency Extension
During a recent interview with Courage At their We Can Survive concert, Adam Levine and James Valentine discussed their upcoming music and their time in Las Vegas. According to Levine, at first they weren’t sure how the residency would go because “there weren’t that many bands there.”
“Because we just go out and play, we don’t have a lot of bells and whistles. And we had to figure out how to exist in the Vegas world and still have something exciting and fun… And I think we did that,” he said.
Levine went on to state that the band had mixed emotions about being in Vegas at first, but grew to enjoy the experience over time. According to Levine, they were able to do this because a “strange new thing” appeared in their time.
“I think when you spend your life traveling and visiting everyone, it’s fun,” he said. “It’s great that everyone comes to see you.”
Valentin then chimed in, saying the energy from the crowd was great too. The group’s residency will continue next year. Additionally, Levine and Valentine shared that they will also be debuting new music in 2024.
In addition to the band’s Las Vegas residency, they recently released new music. In case you missed it, Maroon 5 have released a new song, “Middle Ground,” featuring Mickey Guyton. Fortunately for the group, the collaboration went smoothly.
“It was quite organic, we thought it just needed something feminine. And she’s such an interesting figure in music, and we thought it would be cool,” he said. “We approached her and she said, ‘Let’s do it,’ and I said, ‘Cool, let’s go,’ and we did it. It was really simple and easy.”
He shares how he manages his mental health
The Maroon 5 frontman is no stranger to the depths and dangers of mental health. However, he always tries to turn to the family from which he draws strength.
“For me at this point it’s 100% about my family, just being with my family, being with my wife and kids and just being away from everything,” he said.
According to the Payphone vocalist, it is important for him to “completely break away from the madness of the world.” This way he can keep going.
Levine and Valentine also shared that taking care of your fitness is also a beneficial practice. They mentioned tennis, pickleball and basketball as ways to maintain their physical health.
