Adele could not help but break down in tears when she saw her fellow singer Céline Dion in the audience at her Las Vegas residency on Saturday.

Dion, besides being an inspiration to artists like Adele, is suffering from Stiff Person Syndrome while also holding her own Vegas residency.

Adele’s Emotional Moment With Dion

Video that has quickly gone viral shows Adele, 36, singing her song “When We Were Young.” She then catches sight of Dion, 56, who was sitting in a box to the side at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Adele immediately walked up to Dion and began to cry as the two women hugged for several seconds. At one point, Dion even held Adele’s face in her hands. Adele could be seen saying a few words to Dion before walking away to continue her performance. 

Check out the touching moment for yourself in the video below.

A second video has since come out showing the moment from a closer angle. This footage showed Adele getting tearful as she approached and hugged Dion. She then walked away with tears visible on her cheeks.

In this video, it was clear that Dion was very emotional as well. Check out that video below.

Adele And Dion’s History

Back in January of 2018, Adele went to see Dion perform at the same theater in concert. The “fan-girling” went both ways!

“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 on Instagram at the time.

Adele addressed this experience on Instagram as well.

 “Queen Celine! What a show, an absolute highlight of my life, thank you so much for the attention to your crowd and insane humor,” she wrote. “Happy New Year lady x.” 

Adele has been a major fan of Dion’s for years. Back in 2021, Adele told Vogue that her “proudest possession” is a framed piece of Dion’s gum.

“”It’s pretty amazing,” she gushed. “James Corden — who’s a friend of mine but also does Carpool Karaoke, which I did — did one with her. He knew how much of a fan I was of her and he made her spit her gum into a piece of paper and she framed it for me.”

Adele Stepping Away From Music

Adele is set to end her Las Vegas residency in November. Last month, she said that she plans to step away from music for a “long time” once her residency comes to an end. 

“I have 10 shows to do, but after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time, and I will hold you dear in my heart,” Adele said while performing in Munich, Germany.

As for Dion, she revealed in December of 2022 that she had been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome. This prompted her to remove herself from public life for a substantial amount of time. Back in February, Dion surprised everyone when she appeared at the Grammy Awards to present the award for Album of the Year to Taylor Swift.

We’re glad to see that Dion is doing well enough to have attended Adele’s show. Please join us in saying a prayer for her good health!
