It was business as usual for Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine on Saturday as he took the stage to perform in Las Vegas.
The 43-year-old singer-songwriter sang alongside his longtime band at the Shaquille O’Neal Foundation’s annual fundraiser, The Event.
It comes just weeks after the father-of-two admitted to sending flirty text messages to model Sumner Stroh, 23, while he was married to wife-to-be Behati Prinsloo.

Adam entertained a live audience for a charity dressed in a short sleeve black button down shirt.
He wore a gold chain around his tattooed neck, the pendant of which rested on his chest, which he exposed by leaving the top buttons of his shirt undone.
The musical artist also donned a shiny gold watch, rings and bracelet while belting out his hits.
The Los Angeles native paired his top with brown pants and worn dark sneakers with chunky pink laces.

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, 50, even once joined his boyfriend on stage just days after the retired athlete defended Levine’s cheating allegations.
In an interview with TMZ last week, Shaq said, “Adam is a personal friend of mine. He’s always been a great guy.’
The former basketball star added: “He’s coming to help kids this weekend. That’s as solid as you can get.’
O’Neal, whose nine-year marriage to Shaunie O’Neal ended due to infidelity, also explained, “It’s not my job to say, ‘You did that. you did that You shouldn’t have done that. You shouldn’t have done that.”
‘As far as I can tell, he’s coming this weekend to help the kids. He’s a good man in my book.’

Levine appeared jovial throughout his performance, smiling as he engaged the crowd with his top hits.
He wore black earplugs in both ears and picked up two different guitars throughout the performance.
Sumner shocked the internet last month when she took to TikTok and shared intimate messages between herself and the singer.
The video clip contained flirtatious messages and suggestions for face-to-face meetings, and in the clip, Stroh said she felt “manipulated” by the pop star.
“Basically, I was having an affair with a man who is married to a Victoria’s Secret model. I was young at the time, I was naïve and frankly I feel taken advantage of,” she said.
“I wasn’t as ‘in the scene’ as I am now, so I was definitely very easily manipulated.”

Stroh also claimed Levine indicated his relationship with Prinsloo was on rocky ground, but then the supermodel announced she was pregnant with their third child, suggesting the relationship was on stronger ground than they realise had made.
After the pregnancy was announced, Levine reportedly told his alleged lover that he might want to name the child after her.
Following the revelation, Levine shared a post addressing the cheating rumors and admitted he had “crossed the line” with his sexts and other messages.
“I used poor judgment when talking to anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtation,” the musician said.

“I didn’t have an affair, yet I crossed a line at an unfortunate time in my life. In certain cases it became inappropriate. I have addressed this and taken proactive steps with my family to remedy the situation.’
He continued, “My wife and family are all I care about in this world. Being naïve and stupid enough to risk the only thing that really matters to me was the biggest mistake I could ever make. I’ll never make it again
“I take full responsibility. We will get through it and we will get through it together.’
