On March 13, Alicia Keys and Oprah Winfrey revealed that Keys' autobiography — More Myself — would be released by Macmillan's Flatiron Books on Nov. 5, the first title under the aegis of Winfrey's "An Oprah Book" imprint. "I didn't tell anybody that I was writing this book," said Keys. 

"The point is that we get to continuously discover who we are," said Keys, explaining how the book's title is key to its purpose. Filled with lessons readers can apply to their own paths, More Myself creates a "360 degree perspective" on Keys' timeline through music to super-star status, combining the 61st GRAMMYs host's musings, plus interviews from friends who have shared in her journey.

"I'm just so happy that I can say I arrived at a place where I actually am more myself than I've ever been in my life," said Keys. "I really look forward to becoming even more More Myself." That's why she declared, "I wanted to call it a journey ... I do not want it to be called a memoir."

"You don't have to compare yourself to anybody. You don't have to try to be like somebody else. You don't have to try to make other people who you want to please happy," continued Keys. "The goal is that you are making yourself happy, that you are learning more about yourself."

More Myself is available for pre-order on Flatiron Books' website, and Oprah Magazine has additional details.

Las Vegas' Palms will celebrate the opening of its Kaos dayclub and nightclub on April 5–7 with performances at Kaos nightclub featuring Travis Scott and Skrillex on April 5 and Cardi B, G-Eazy and J Balvin on April 6, and with Kaskade and Vice on April 7 at Kaos dayclub.

The Palms' opening weekend also features solo performances at its Pearl Concert Theater by Alicia Keys, Needtobreathe and Hozier on April 5–7, respectively. 

Last month, Las Vegas Weekly described the Palms' work in progress on the Kaos spaces, which take over areas previously filled by the pool and by the Rain nightclub. "The opening of Kaos will be the culminating moment for the repositioning of Palms' renovation," said General Manager Jon Gray. "We've ... designed a next-level space that will change the club landscape across the globe."

Variety has more information, as does the Palms Kaos website about this fun weekend in April surrounded by Kaos' lavish but not-yet-revealed interiors. The full lineup continues to be fleshed out with further announcements to follow.
