Adam News
Adam Levine Has a Request Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine knows what kind of music he likes and he's not shy about requesting it either. He stopped by the Foxtail Club in West Hollywood and told the DJ to play...a Maroon 5 song, of course! Adam was so happy he danced to his own song.
Opinion: Live in Dubai - December 10th
When not busy posing for the cameras or interacting with fans, Levine shone with his spectacular voice, and the band included all the favourites in their setlist, including Sunday Morning, I Won't Go Home Without You, The Sun, Shiver, Makes Me Wonder and Wake Up Call and She Will Be Loved.

Maroon 5 Land in Venezuela
The concert, said Valentine, will be similar to most of the shows in Latin America: a selection of songs from both albums the quintet have produced (Songs About Jane and It Won't Be Soon Before Long). "We haven't started to play anything new or different yet," he declared.

Adam Levine: "I'm Looking for a Wife"
Young, romantic, sensual. Elegant, nice, bold. Millionaire, pop star, single. Charismatic, socially committed with good intentions and sentimental. Is this the perfect man? You tell me. His name is Adam Levine, he was born 29 years ago in Los Angeles and is the lead singer of Maroon 5.

Irvine & San Diego Fan Review
On Saturday night, the band traveled south to San Diego where Counting Crows ended up cancelling their set because the lead singer, Adam Duritz, had fallen sick. As a result, Maroon 5 played a longer set with new surprises like their cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain.”

Chicago & Milwaukee Fan Review
Maroon 5 ended the show with "This Love," after which Adam threw his guitar sky high. The guitar smacked down onto the stage, still in one piece and just inches from the singer. He picked it up and the rest of the guys joined him in waving goodbye to the crowd and giving a well-deserved bow.
