The deep connection between Adele and Celine Dion was on full display at Adele’s recent Las Vegas concert at The Colosseum. As Adele sang her hit “Easy On Me,” she spotted Dion in the audience, an unexpected presence that left Adele visibly moved. Unable to contain her emotions, Adele walked over to Dion, who responded warmly, and the two shared an embrace that stirred the audience into loud applause. By the time they separated, both singers were in tears, highlighting the powerful connection they share, one that resonates beyond their music.
Following the concert, Adele posted a photo of their emotional interaction on her Instagram, calling Dion’s attendance a complete “surprise” and expressing just how much it meant to her to have Dion present. For Adele, this moment was deeply symbolic; The Colosseum was originally built for Dion’s iconic Las Vegas residency “A New Day” over 20 years ago, and Adele has long felt a connection to Dion’s legacy in the venue. She explained in her caption that a photo of Dion rests beside the stage, which she touches before each performance. Reflecting on Dion’s influence, she added, “Words will never sum up what you mean to me, or what you coming to my show means, let alone how it felt seeing you back in your palace with your beautiful family.”
Overwhelmed by the experience, Adele invited the audience to help finish “Easy On Me,” and the crowd joined her in singing, amplifying the electric atmosphere. Dion later stood to take a bow, while Adele addressed the crowd, referring to Dion as “one of my favorite people of all time.” The night was a celebration of music and legacy and underscored the mutual admiration between two of the world’s greatest vocal talents.
This moment comes as Adele’s “Weekends with Adele” residency draws to a close, having begun in January 2022 and set to end on November 23. Through this special moment, Adele’s concert at The Colosseum became more than a performance—it was a celebration of Dion’s legacy and a moving testament to their shared artistic journey.
