Adele revealed why she got so emotional performing in front of Celine Dion during her Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace over the weekend.
On Monday, the 36-year-old superstar took to Instagram to share a photo of herself and the Canadian pop legend, 56, both looking teary-eyed as they embraced during one of her latest Weekends With Adele shows.
‘I have been performing in Celine Dion’s room at the Colosseum for almost 2 years now. 4 weeks to go! It was the only venue I wanted to play in Vegas because it was built for her,’ she captioned the image.
The 16-time Grammy winner went on to reveal that she keeps a photo of Dion ‘right next to the stage’ and touches it ‘every night before’ she walks on to the stage.
This made Dion’s ‘surprise’ attendance even more special for the mother-of-one, who has long admired the music icon.
‘It was a MOMENT!!’ Adele said of seeing the star in the audience. ‘@celinedion I love you so very very much. Words will never sum up what you mean to me, or what you coming to my show means, let alone how it felt seeing you back in your palace with your beautiful family.’
The Hello hitmaker concluded: ‘I have loved being there it has been such an honor and Saturday night will be something I remember forever and ever. Such a full circle moment for me to be there with you. Thank you so much ♥️.’
In footage shared online from the show, Adele and Céline held onto one another before the English singer returned to the floor and told the audience: ‘Give it up for Ms Céline Dion.’
An emotional Céline could be seen wiping her eyes with a tissue before she stood up and waved at the audience while Adele continued to sing her hit When We Were Young.
