If there’s one place where Celine Dion can command attention, it’s Las Vegas — where she transformed A-list residencies during her legendary stint at the Caesars Palace Coliseum.
After all, the renowned stage where Adele, Mariah Carey, Usher, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Shania Twain and countless other music legends have performed was constructed for her.
So it made perfect sense that when the iconic vocalist, 57, was seen at a Coldplay concert for a spectacular show-stopping moment between two music powerhouses, it happened at Sin City’s Allegiant Stadium.
And the audience — including Coldplay frontman Chris Martin’s son Moses, Brandon Flowers of the Killers, and Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley — erupted with excitement.
It all began when Dion was spotted on camera during the sold-out concert, catching Martin’s attention.
In a video captured by Vegas journalist Melinda Sheckells and shared on her Instagram, Martin serenaded Celine, “Celine, my beautiful sister. You make my heart go on and on. Near, far, you’re a total superstar.” Then he enthusiastically hyped up the crowd, as Dion became emotional, formed a heart with her hands and waved to the cheering audience: “Let’s hear it for the legendary Celine Dion…Celine, we love you.”
“What an unforgettable evening,” Dion wrote in a Sunday, June 8 Instagram post about the moment. “My heart is still singing!”
Dion’s four-photo carousel showed her gathering with the band, meeting Martin, waving to the crowd while wearing her classic suit and tie look, and making heart hands as the audience cheered for her. Beside 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 wrote in her Instagram caption. “It was all … fantastique.”
In 2022, the French Canadian music icon disclosed she had been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare and painful condition that triggers severe muscle stiffness and spasms, according to the Mayo Clinic. Since her diagnosis, the formerly energetic performer has only made occasional public appearances.
