Adele is playing the final shows of her long-running Las Vegas residency at the Colosseum at Caesar Palace. On Saturday night, the singer was moved to tears upon discovering that one of her biggest inspirations, fellow vocalist Celine Dion, was in the audience watching the concert.
As she performed “When We Were Young” in the audience, Adele spotted Celine Dion sitting in the front row and moved to greet her. She immediately burst into tears as they embraced, with Dion eventually wiping away her own tears as well.
Upon returning to the stage, Adele described Dion as “one of my favorite people of all time” and encouraged the audience to give her a standing ovation.
Earlier this year at the 2024 Summer Olympics’ opening ceremonies in Paris, Dion returned to the stage and performed live for the first time since revealing she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome in 2022.
