When the news first broke out about her Las Vegas residency, people thought they were crazy. John Meglen and Celine’s husband, Rene Angeli thought big and it was definitely worth it. Now, 16 years and 1,141 performances later, Celine’s two residencies combined to sell 4,555,752 tickets according to Billboard Boxscore. A New Day residency between 2003 and 2007 and Celine residency between 2011 and 2019 became the two highest-grossing and best-selling Las Vegas residencies of all time. The first residency consisted of 714 shows while the second had a more flexible schedule of 427 performances during which Dion toured internationally.
The pop singer first made her mark on the Billboard charts in the 1990s with three No.1 Billboard 200 albums and four No. 1 Hot 100 singles. Her album Falling into You earned her a Grammy and after she went to Sin City she became one of the most successful and lucrative live acts in the industry. Reports say she is one of the only eight artists to cross the billion mark in the history of Billboard Boxscore.
The famed singer will keep herself busy by releasing new music later in the year and preparing for the tour.
Her Courage Tour will kick off on 18 September in Quebec City in support of her upcoming twelfth album Courage due for release in November. She will hit more than 50 cities including Miami, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles. Her Saturday’s finale featured the debut of her new song “Flying On My Own” and judging by the first glimpse of it, we can freely say the album is going to be a smash hit. Celine’s husband Rene died in 2016 after a battle with throat cancer after 22 years in marriage. Celine is paying tribute to her late husband with the new album and says she feels more “centered, balanced and spiritually connected” these days and even though the sound and music changed a bit on the Courage album she is still the same.
