Adam Levine on Maroon 5 in Vegas, New Music & If His Kids Think He’s Cool (Exclusive)
Adam Levine and Maroon 5 are heading back to Vegas!
He chatted with “Extra’s” Melvin Robert about taking some time for family after stepping away from “The Voice.” Adam left the show in 2019 after 16 consecutive seasons, though he'll be making his return in 2025 for Season 27!
Melvin asked if he’s feeling rested and rejuvenated, and Adam confessed, “Today I don’t feel that rested because I was with 400 kids at Disneyland yesterday doing birthdays, but I'd say in general, I feel pretty rested!”
Now, Maroon 5’s popular residency at the Dolby Live at Park MGM has been extended into 2025. He dished on their Vegas show, saying, “At first we weren't sure how we would fit in, but honestly, we fell madly in love with it and the vibe is amazing, the theater is amazing.”
Adam added, “It has grown, it's growing and got more popular,” adding, “I think maybe because we keep it pretty simple and put on this big live rock ‘n’ roll show, everyone is really loving it.”
As for the secret to longevity in the industry, Levine said, “I think, for me, always doing different things and finding new, like, subtle things to kind of challenge myself as someone who writes, as someone who performs.”
He went on, “Staying in shape is even a big deal because I’m getting older now. Even that’s a challenge, but it kind of all fuels the music and how I get up there and do it. I’m obsessed with working out. I haven’t worked out in a week and I’m kinda tripping a little bit. I'm like, I need it."
Plus, it’s been three years since Maroon 5 dropped their last album “Jordi,” but Adam is currently writing new songs all on his own!
He explained, “The lion’s share of the stuff is kind of in my creative brain now so that’s been a new adjustment because I haven’t done that in a really long time since our third album so I’m back to that, so that’s really exciting.”
Levine admitted, “I’m even more insecure about releasing new music now. I feel there is this new sense of ownership. I’m really, really excited and I think people are gonna love it, but like, I don't know, it’s one of my babies again, so you never know.”
Melvin asked, “What do your kids think about you onstage? I hear one is quite the Maroon 5 historian.”
