Céline Dion returns to the Colosseum

Global music sensation Céline returned to the Colosseum at Caesars Palace last night (Sept. 19) to resume her Las Vegas residency following a sold-out summer tour that played 25 sold-out shows in 15 cities across Europe.

With a new, shorter haircut Céline used the gold mic she had for the opening of the show 1,050 productions ago. Céline also wore a new, silver-fringed, mini-skirt outfit.

Céline dropped the “Immortality” number from her rundown of songs but added “Think Twice,” one of the songs from her 1993 “Color of My Love” album. In a duet with singer Barney Valsaint (they also do “Beauty and the Beast”) she also added “I’m Your Angel” to the set list. Here’s their YouTube duet from their Paris concert in 1999:

During her performance, Céline addressed the sold-out crowd about the ongoing hurricane Harvey, Irma and Maria devastation and announced relief and recovery donations to benefit the American Red Cross will be collected during her Las Vegas shows at the Colosseum. Céline, along with partners AEG Presents and Caesars Entertainment, will match the donated funds.

Tickets for Céline at the Colosseum are on sale for performances through Jan. 20. During her 30-year-career, Celine has now sold almost 250 million albums. She has earned five Grammy awards, two Academy awards, seven American Music awards, 20 Juno awards (Canada) and an astonishing 40 Felix awards (Quebec).

In 2004, Céline received the Diamond award at the World Music Awards recognizing her status as the best-selling female artist of all time. In 2016, the Billboard Music Awards presented her with the lifetime achievement Icon Award.

The March launch of her very first line of fashion accessories, The Céline Dion Collection comprising more than 200 articles, including handbags and luggage ensembles has just gone on sale at stores across America.
