Singer-songwriter Adele has expressed gratitude to Canadian musician Celine Dion for attending her concert in Las Vegas on October 26.

Sharing a photo with Dion on X on Tuesday, Adele wrote, “I’ve been performing in Celine Dion’s room at the Colosseum for almost two years now. Four weeks to go. It was the only venue I wanted to play in Vegas because it was built for her.”

The picture captures an emotional moment, with Dion holding Adele’s face as she tears up. Videos shared by fan accounts on social media show the two singers embracing in the Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace, a venue originally built for Dion’s 2003 residency debut.

“I have a picture of her right next to the stage that I touch every night before I walk on, and she came to the show this weekend—it was a surprise and a Moment. Celine, I love you so very, very much. Words will never capture what you mean to me, or what it meant to have you at my show, let alone how it felt seeing you back in your palace with your beautiful family,” Adele added, expressing her deep admiration for the My Heart Will Go On singer.

“I have loved every moment here. It has been such an honour, and Saturday night will be something I remember forever. It felt like a full-circle moment to have you there. Thank you so much,” Adele signed off.

According to media reports, Adele is set to conclude her two-year-long Las Vegas residency in November. During her performance in Munich in September, she revealed her plans to step away from music for a "long time" after her residency ends.

On the other hand, Dion recently returned to the stage with a performance at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony in July, where she closed the night with a soulful rendition of L’Hymne à l’amour from the base of the Eiffel Tower. The occasion was especially significant for the Canadian icon, as it marked her first performance since being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome in 2022 — a rare neurological disease causing muscle spasms and rigidity in the torso and limbs.

Dion is set to feature in an upcoming Prime Video documentary detailing her journey with stiff-person syndrome.
