After 15 years, the curtain is set to close on Celine Dion’s long-running Las Vegas residency.
The Quebec songstress announced the end of her show “Celine” at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on her website.
“I definitely have mixed emotions about this final run. Las Vegas has become my home and performing at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace has been a big part of my life for the past two decades,” she wrote of her show, which first debuted on March 23, 2003. “It’s been an amazing experience and I’m so grateful to all the fans who have come to see us throughout the years. Every show we do at the Colosseum throughout this fall, and right up until the final one, will feel very special.”

Concerts West/AEG Presents, the promoter of Dion’s residency, released a statement from CEO John Meglen to ET Canada:
“What an extraordinary part of our lives these shows have been. Celine took such a leap of faith, made such a big bet on Las Vegas when she decided to perform ‘A New Day’… all those years ago. And look what she’s done…she has changed the landscape of entertainment in Las Vegas. What she started, as a crazy idea that didn’t make sense to a lot of people, has now become the norm. Now everyone wants to perform a residency in Las Vegas! All of us have Celine to thank for really making Las Vegas the entertainment capital of the world.”
“Celine is ingrained within the legacy of Caesars Palace and it has been a tremendous honor to be a permanent home to one of the most legendary music icons for over 15 years,” President and CEO of Caesars Entertainment Mark Frissora tells ET Canada.
The singer still has several 2019 performance dates in February and March 2019.
Dion’s final run of performances will begin in May, with the last show scheduled for June 8, 2019.
