Céline Dion was going to be back on the stage in Las Vegas on November 5th, but today she announced that she is going to have to postpone her big return.
As Celine Dion has been preparing for the November 5th opening of her brand-new show in the beautiful, new Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas, unforeseen medical symptoms have forced the singer to delay the opening and cancel the performances scheduled from November 5 to 20, 2021 and January 19 to February 5, 2022.
Celine has been experiencing severe and persistent muscle spasms which are preventing her from performing. Her medical team continues to evaluate and treat her. However, the symptoms she is experiencing are prohibiting her from participating in the ongoing rehearsals for the new show
“I’m heartbroken by this,” said Celine. “My team and I have been working on our new show for the past eight months, and to not be able to open this November saddens me beyond words. My partners at Resorts World Las Vegas and AEG have been working around the clock to get this brand-new state-of-the-art theatre ready, and it’s absolutely beautiful. I feel so bad that I’m letting them down, and I’m especially sorry for disappointing all the fans who’ve been making their plans to come to Las Vegas. Now, I have to focus on getting better… I want to get through this as soon as I can.”
Hopefully, she will be better soon because everyone should experience her live.
When it comes to her World Tour, which is expected to begin on March 5, that is still going on as is. At least for now.
Before Céline Dion was an international superstar, she told CBC she dreamed of being one. She looks exactly the same now as she did when was 15 in that 1983 interview.
Back in 1983, Cyndi Lauper sang a cover of Robert Hazard’s Girls Just Want to Have Fun. Did you know the song was originally recorded in 1979 by someone else before you read this? I didn’t either. I am blown away by this fact.
Anyways that is not the point of this post. I was going to say that even though the Lauper is 67, she is still a girl who wants to have fun in a bubble bath. Therefore, she printed a picture of the Titanic, glued it on to some popsicle sticks, drew a bath, got in, and lip-synched Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On. Now, my heart will go on forever for Cyndi Lauper.
Once I get over the fact that the woman I thought created an anthem for all of us girls actually didn’t. I haven’t been this stunned since I found out that Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock sampled Lyn Collins’ 1972 Think (About It) for It Takes Two. What song will be next?
For over a week, my friend and I have been wondering who will be the first celebrity to get the Coronavirus. We still do not have a winner. We also now know one person who it is not going to be.
Céline Dion canceled a few of her upcoming dates, and of course, everyone’s minds went there. Her people made sure to point out, “DUE TO COMMON COLD, CELINE DION POSTPONES COURAGE WORLD TOUR DATES IN WASHINGTON, D.C AND PITTSBURGH, PA.”
Since that will not be clear enough for everyone, they added, “On Monday night, a day after completing a six-show run in the New York area, Celine began feeling the symptoms of a common cold. The symptoms persisted into Tuesday, and her doctors instructed her to rest for the next 5-7 days. After testing her, the doctors concluded that her virus was not related to COVID-19.”
That is good because many hearts will not go one if anything happens to her.
Her canceled dates are postponed, and her Courage tour is expected to resume on March 24th in Colorado unless it gets canceled because of the Coronavirus like everything else.
The first time we heard My Heart Will Go On, we thought it was a pretty song. By the millionth time, we all hated it. For Céline Dion, she was not a fan of it before she even sang it.
She told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live that the Titanic theme song did not appeal to her first and she rejected it. Her late husband René Angélil convinced her to record a demo of the tune and that first take is the version we know so well. They just added the orchestra to her vocals
Imagine if she said no. Would that single as iconic as it came? We will never know.
