Angela Bassett took a break from filming 9-1-1 season eight on Thursday August 15 to join her husband Courtney B Vance and their 18-year-old twins at the opening of the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles – and an incredible performance by Bruno Mars.

But it wasn't a night she wanted to miss, as the twins are expected to be flying the nest soon as they head out for college.

"And so they're ready. It's another transition. We went down the baby aisle, now we've got to go down the empty nest aisle and get used to them not being here," Courtney told People earlier in 2024.
Angela added that she was "just proud of the young adults that they are becoming, the friendships that they make, the maturity that they exhibit," and that they were "a beautiful combination of both of us, of all that we have poured into them"

Slater wore loose denim jeans and a vintage tee that referenced Muhammed Ali's 1960s Olympics Gold medal win.

Intuit Dome is the new home of the Los Angeles Clippers, the local basketball team, and the opening night event began with a ribbon cutting ceremony before an epic concert by the showman himself Bruno Mars, who was joined by Lady Gaga to debut their new song "Die With a Smile" during the encore.
