This is the emotional moment Adele broke down in tears after seeing Céline Dion in the audience at her Las Vegas residency show.
Adele, 36, and Céline, 56, shared a touching embrace during her show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, where the Canadian singer previously hosted her own residency for more than a decade.
In footage shared online, Adele and Céline held each other before the English singer returned to the floor and told the crowd: “Give it up for Ms. Céline Dion.”
An emotional Céline could be seen wiping her eyes with a tissue before standing and waving to the crowd as Adele continued to sing her hit When We Were Young.

The Rolling In The Deep hitmaker has been vocal about her love for Céline over the years, calling her “Queen Céline” after attending one of her performances in a 2018 Instagram post.
Alongside a photo of herself wearing a Céline T-shirt, she added: ‘What a show, an absolute highlight of my life, thank you so much for the attention to your audience and the crazy humor. Happy New Year lady x.”
Céline returned the love at the time and shared a photo on social media in which she posed next to Adele, who was wearing the singer’s merchandise.
She wrote: ‘I couldn’t do all my shows but was thrilled Adele came to one of them…I love her so much!! – Céline xx’.
Adele returned to the Colosseum this weekend to continue her residency after taking a break to perform a series of shows in Munich in a purpose-built outdoor arena.
Weekends With Adele launched in November 2022 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and is expected to end in November this year.
Her series of sold-out shows at the venue, which seats around 4,000 people, was a success but also took its toll.
In July, she announced that she would be taking a “big break” from music after her string of upcoming shows.

Meanwhile, Céline made a triumphant return to live singing over the summer to close the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, amid her battle with stiff person syndrome (SPS).
She has spoken candidly about SPS, revealing her diagnosis in December 2022 after canceling her 2021 Las Vegas residency due to health concerns.
The condition is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that usually causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms, according to the Johns Hopkins Medicine website.
In March 2003, Céline launched her first residency at the Colosseum, playing 717 shows through December 2007.
She returned to the venue in March 2011 for her second stint, playing 424 shows before wrapping it up in June 2019.
