Celine Dion announced at the end of 2021 that she would be taking a break from the public eye and postponing the start of her residency in Las Vegas. She cited “severe and recurrent muscle spasms” as the reason for her inability to perform.

This disheartening piece of information occurred when Covid witnessed the actress being forced to cancel her run of gigs owing to numerous lockdowns. It is estimated that the string of cancellations will cost Celine in excess of £60 million ($70.6 million).

Celine has established herself as an indelible part of the Las Vegas entertainment scene. During her two separate stays in the city, which spanned a total of 12 years, she has acquired a wealth that is valued at £560.9M ($681M).

According to the gaming website SlotsUp, the singer was able to make more during her two residencies in Las Vegas than other celebrities such as Elton John and Cher.

Her A New Day performance, which ran for over four years beginning in 2003 and finishing in 2007, brought in an astounding £317.1M ($385M) at the box office, while her Celine show, which began in 2011 and ended in 2017, brought in £243.8M ($296M).

Given that Celine has been absent from her Celine show for more than two years’ worth of performances, it is quite likely that she has lost out on more than £60 million ($70.6) in revenue as a result.

There is reason to be optimistic for those who are devoted to Celine, as the year 2023 will be the first time that she will perform live in Europe for her devoted fans there.

Celine Dion made the announcement in May that the new dates for the European leg of her Courage tour had been released. The tour will begin on February 24 in Prague and will continue all the way through October.

Fans of the singer can rest certain that after some time to recuperate, she will be back to create a splash on stage just like she always has been, despite the fact that there is no word as of yet regarding the American leg of her tour or the gigs she will be performing in Las Vegas.
