On Monday, Celine\u00a0Dion announced she’s\u00a0ending\u00a0her Las Vegas residency<\/a>\u00a0at Caesars Palace after eight years. Her last\u00a0show will be on June 8, 2019.<\/p>\n

“I definitely have mixed emotions about this final run,” Dion said in a statement posted on Facebook. “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. 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.”<\/p>\n

An exclusive Team Celine pre-sale for the final shows (Feb. 26 to June 8) will start on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 10 a.m. PT, before the public on-sale date of Friday, Sept. 28 at 10 a.m. PT.<\/p>\n

Since March 2003, Dion\u00a0has performed 1,089 shows to 4.5 million fans at The Colosseum. Her first residency, A New Day\u2026, played 717 shows from March 25, 2003 through December 15, 2007. Her second and current residency, Celine, premiered in Las Vegas in March 15, 2011. The shows are presented by Concerts West\/AEG Presents and Caesars Entertainment.<\/p>\n

“Celine Dion has re-written the rules for a singer to have a brilliant career,”\u00a0John Nelson, Senior Vice President of\u00a0AEG Presents, said in a statement. “She continues to re-invent herself, to be current, and remains at the top of her game. \u00a0As a singer, as a performer, she is truly better with every show. We\u2019re so fortunate to have had her in Las Vegas, at The Colosseum, for all of these years.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat an extraordinary part of our lives these shows have been,\u201d John Meglen, co-CEO of Concerts West\/AEG Presents, added.\u00a0\u201cCeline took such a leap of faith, made such a big bet on Las Vegas when she decided to perform A New Day\u2026 all those years ago. And look what she\u2019s done\u2026she has changed the landscape of entertainment in Las Vegas. What she started, as a crazy idea that didn\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

In May, the 50-year-old singer\u00a0triumphantly returned to her residency<\/a>\u00a0after canceling three weeks of shows in late March to undergo and recover\u00a0from ear surgery.<\/a>\u00a0Dion was at the top of her game, and shared how excited she was to be performing again.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, it\u2019s been a while since we\u2019ve done a show. I had a little health issue — don\u2019t we all,\u201d Dion told the audience at the time. \u201cBut I have to tell you, I\u2019m extremely happy to be back. The stage is kind of my home away from home and I have to admit I can barely stand on my feet tonight as I am a little bit nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter how long you\u2019ve done a show. Every time you do a show you get nervous and I do have butterflies tonight,” she continued. \u201cYou wonder, ‘Will the people still come? Are they gonna say, ‘What if she cancels tonight?’ Will they stay home?’ I don\u2019t take anything for granted. You can see so many shows in Vegas and I\u2019m so very grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n
