THE BIG NIGHT
Blake and Gwen came together for Keep Memory Alive’s star-studded 27th annual Power of Love Gala at MGM’s Garden Arena in Las Vegas, which raises essential funds to benefit Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health.
The former Nashville Star judge opened up to the media about his pride at being honored at the gala, which raises millions every year., and seeing other stars perform his hits.
“We all know we are here to raise money for a great cause, ” Blake said before adding, “I got the easy part.”
“What I am most excited about tonight is hearing my buddies sing my songs, and hopefully some of them will really butcher it so I can make fun of them about it later,” he teased.
It is amazing. She is a superwoman.”

“When they asked me I was just like, ‘Of course,’ if I have something to offer I said, ‘Of course, I am happy to do it.'”
Blake then brought the focus back to the real purpose of the night, as he stated, “I know my name is on the thing, but this isn’t about me this is about raising as much money tonight for The Cleveland Clinic as possible.”
The Purple Irises singer explained, “That is exciting. Personally my family has been affected by Alzheimer’s, a family member has it and it is close to my heart.
“And besides that, it is going to be an incredible night. And I am a Vegas guy now. I got a bar down the street I will start soaking this stuff in.”

Blake owns the restaurant and bar chain Ole Red, which opened a Las Vegas location at the beginning of this year.
Blake, honored for his two-decade career that includes 13 million albums sold and nearly 11 billion global streams, reflected on how supporting the event was special because of his idol Glen Campbell.
Campbell died in 2017 from Alzheimer’s disease after a six-year battle with the condition.
He told The U.S Sun, “One of my heroes is Glen Campbell, who we know was affected by Alzheimer’s and this is just another way to give back.
“He was a hero of mine and we lost him.”
“We cannot do enough about it,” he asserted.
LAS VEGAS RESIDENCY
Blake also teased that he plans to land a residency in Vegas soon.
“We have been talking about doing a residency, actually, for a few years now,” he revealed.
The TV personality continued, “I just pushed it away because I was doing two seasons of The Voice every year.
“Now I have got some time on my hands I am starting to think maybe we will do. Maybe we will do it next year.
This time last night she was doing a show in the Bahamas and she made it here. It is amazing.”

“We are talking [about] it now, but I don’t know if next year is too soon, but I would like to do it,” Blake confirmed.
Wife Gwen, a three-time Grammy Award winner and a multi-platinum solo artist, enjoyed her own at Planet Hollywood residency several years ago.
Other big-name performers included Grammy winner Colbie Caillat, Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth, four-time Grammy Award-winner Deniece Williams, comic Jay Pharaoh, and The Voice alum Jay Allen, country music singer-songwriter, and Alzheimer’s awareness advocate known for his song “Blank Stares,” inspired by his mother’s battle with the disease.
The Power of Love gala is a vital platform to generate funds to enable Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health to find, fund, and facilitate the most effective and innovative research, treatment, and educational support programming for patients and their families affected by brain disorders, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, multiple system atrophy and multiple sclerosis.
As the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health commemorates its 15th anniversary, it continues to be “Powered by Love,” using philanthropic support to find, fund, and facilitate the most effective and innovative research, treatment, and educational support programming for patients and their families affected by brain disorders, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease, multiple system atrophy and multiple sclerosis.
Over its long history, the gala has become one of the greatest charity fundraisers on the West Coast with icons like Neil Diamond, Jon Bon Jovi, Michael Buble, Tony Bennett and Smokey Robinson getting honors and giving memorable performances.
