Adele and Celine Dion Share Tearful Embrace at Adele’s Las Vegas Concert

Las Vegas was the scene of a heartwarming moment between two of music’s biggest stars this past weekend. British songstress Adele broke down in tears during her residency show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace after spotting Celine Dion sitting in the audience.

As Adele performed her hit song “When We Were Young,” she suddenly stopped and made her way over to Dion’s seat. The two embraced, with Adele visibly emotional as Dion tenderly held her face.

Video footage shows the pair sharing a brief but poignant conversation before Adele returned to the stage, dabbing at her tear-stained face. Accompanied by her twin sons Nelson and Eddy, Dion also appeared overcome with emotion, dabbing at her own eyes after the encounter.

Once Adele regained her composure, she addressed the audience, saying, “Give it up for Mrs. Celine Dion!” The crowd erupted in cheers and applause for the Canadian vocal icon.

This wasn’t the first time the two singers have shared a special moment. In 2018, Adele visited Dion backstage after one of her Las Vegas shows, posting on Instagram at the time that she was “thrilled” to have seen Dion perform.

Adele has long been open about her admiration for Dion, calling her a true “queen” of the music industry. The two powerhouse vocalists have cultivated a genuine friendship and mutual respect over the years.

Was thrilled Adele attended one of my shows, but couldn’t do them all. I love her so much!” Following that 2018 meeting, Dion posted on Instagram.

For Adele, having Dion in the audience at her own Vegas residency must have been an incredibly meaningful and emotional experience. The two singers are undoubtedly aware of their shared status as two of the greatest vocalists of their generations.

Dion has kept a relatively low profile in recent years, having cancelled her world tour in 2023 due to her struggle with the rare neurological disorder stiff person syndrome. The condition has affected her ability to perform and sing.

However, Dion has made a few public appearances in 2024, including a surprise showing at the City of Hope Gala in Los Angeles just prior to Adele’s concert. “It was my honor to share the stage with the guest of honor, Jay Marciano, and the likes of my dear friend @eltonjohn for a truly unforgettable evening,” Dion wrote on Instagram.

Surrounded by her adoring sons, the Canadian icon’s attendance at Adele’s show was undoubtedly a special moment as she embraced her fellow singing superstar.

For Adele’s fans, the tearful encounter was a truly touching display of the deep mutual respect and admiration between the two divas. As one fan commented on social media, “MOTHER BLESSING HER DAUGHTER—the greatest vocalists of their generations.”

Another person commented, “Watching Adele and Celine is such a pure and emotional moment.” Adele will conclude her two-year Vegas residency in November. Adele has previously revealed her intention to take a “long time” off from music after the residency concludes.

The heartwarming reunion between Adele and Celine Dion may be one of Adele’s last career highlights. It was a full-circle moment that left both singers—and their devoted fans—incredibly moved.
