If there’s one place where Celine Dion can steal the show, it’s Las Vegas — where she forever changed A-list residencies during her epic run at the Caesars Palace Coliseum.
After all, the famous stage where Adele, Mariah Carey, Usher, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Shania Twain and many other music giants have performed was built for her.
So it was fitting that when the legendary songstress, 57, was spotted at a Coldplay concert for a spectacularly show-stopping moment between two music icons, it was at Sin City’s Allegiant Stadium.
And the crowd — including Coldplay front man Chris Martin’s son Moses, Brandon Flowers of the Killers, and Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley — went wild.
It all started when Dion was caught on camera during the packed concert, catching Martin’s eye.
In a video recorded by Vegas journalist Melinda Sheckells and posted to her Instagram, Martin sang to Celine, “Celine, my beautiful sister. You make my heart go on and on. Near, far, you’re a total superstar.” Then he graciously revved up the crowd, as Dion got emotional, made a heart with her hands and waved to the cheering crowd: “Let’s hear it for the legendary Celine Dion…Celine, we love you.”
“What an unforgettable evening,” Dion captioned a Sunday, June 8 Instagram post about the experience. “My heart is still singing!”
Dion’s four-image carousel post showed her in a huddle with the band, greeting Martin, waving to the audience wearing her signature look of a suit and tie, and making heart hands as the crowd cheered for her. Next to her are her three sons with her late husband, René Angélil.
“A heartfelt thanks to the band and their amazing team for welcoming my family with warmth and kindness,” Dion continued in her Instagram caption. “It was all … fantastique.”
In 2022, the French Canadian music legend revealed she had been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare and painful syndrome that causes severe muscle stiffness and spasms, according to the Mayo Clinic. Since her diagnoses, the once-tireless performer has been seen in public only on rare outings.
