Last performance with artist to the stars (6)
I believe the answer is:
astral
'to the stars' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'last performance with artist' is the wordplay.
'performance' is an anagram indicator.
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'last' is an anagram of 'astl'.
'astl' going around 'ra' is 'ASTRAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for astral that I've seen before include "Like the stars" , "Universal" , "Altars (anag)" , "Related to the stars" , "Characteristic of stars" .)
