A Heartfelt Tribute
Singer Adele expressed her deep gratitude to her idol Celine Dion after the legendary diva unexpectedly attended her concert in Las Vegas on October 26. In an emotional Instagram post, Adele shared how much Dion’s presence meant to her, stating that “words cannot describe it.”
A Special Venue
Adele has been performing at Celine Dion’s venue in the Colosseum for nearly two years, calling it the only place she wants to perform in Las Vegas because “it was built for her.” She revealed that before every show, she touches Dion’s photo as a good-luck ritual. This past weekend, Dion’s surprise appearance deeply moved her.
An Emotional Moment
During the concert, Adele spotted Celine Dion in the audience alongside her sons, Nelson and Eddy Angélil. Overcome with emotion, Adele cried and rushed to embrace her idol, creating a heartwarming moment that quickly went viral on social media.
Inspiration and Admiration
Adele, who has won 15 Grammy Awards and sold over 120 million records, often cites Celine Dion as one of her biggest musical inspirations. In 2018, she attended Dion’s concert at the Colosseum and praised her on Instagram as “Queen Celine,” calling it “one of the most memorable nights of my life.”
Celine Dion’s Legacy
Celine Dion, now 56, is celebrated among the world’s top three influential divas, alongside Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. With five Grammy Awards and the title of Queen of Contemporary Music by Billboard, Dion’s influence remains vast.
Dion’s Return to the Spotlight
Dion’s appearance at Adele’s concert marked one of her few public outings since her diagnosis of Stiff-Person Syndrome, which led her to cancel all performances. The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, built in 2003 specifically for Dion’s show A New Day…, has since become a prime venue for top artists. Adele’s residency, Weekends with Adele, began in November 2022 and is set to conclude on November 23.
