The neon glow of Las Vegas bled through the heavy curtains of a high-rise suite, casting long shadows over a room that had seen better days. Jordan Reed, the 43-year-old rock legend, slumped in an armchair, a cigarette dangling loosely from her fingers. Once, she chased fame with the desperation of a Texas high schooler; now, she watched the smoke curl upward with weary amusement. The roar of Wembley and the thunder of the Rose Bowl were distant echoes. Here, in the heart of her first residency, the silence was heavy. She looked toward the door, a faint, tired smile playing on her lips as she considered the chaos awaiting her.
