Dion — who opened the Colosseum with her first residency in 2003 — appeared to be seated beside her sons, Nelson and Eddy Angélil, who offered comfort to their mother following the touching encounter.
This isn’t the first time Adele and Dion have crossed paths in Sin City. In 2018, Adele attended Celine’s second residency at the same venue. In an Instagram post at the time, the “My Heart Will Go On” artist expressed her appreciation after meeting Adele backstage at the performance.

“Wasn’t able to do all my shows, but was thrilled that Adele came to one of them… I love her so much!!” Dion wrote in a since-deleted post.
Adele also shared her excitement after meeting Dion. “Queen Celine! What a show, an absolute highlight of my life, thank you so much for the attention to your crowd and insane humor. Happy New Year lady x,” the “Hello” hitmaker wrote on Instagram.
Her Weekends With Adele runs through late November. Earlier this year, Adele stated that she will take a lengthy break from music after the residency concludes in the fall.
“I just need a rest. I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself and I want to live it now,” she told a Munich crowd in September. “I want to live my life that I’ve been building and I will miss you terribly.”
