It was an emotional farewell for Celine Dion, who performed her final show in Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas Saturday night. It's hard to believe that we've come to an end," she told the audience. "It's a pleasure to perform for you, but I'm extremely passionate to be a mother," she said, explaining why she was putting a bow on the five-year run. Celine revealed to the crowd that she actually wanted to stop the show when her son was born, but planning for the extravaganza was already so far into production. "I wanted to be more successful as a mother than as a singer," she said. Her last hurrah was extremely touching, as she cried during the performance of Titanic's "My Heart Will Go On," and, after her final number, her husband, Renee Angelil, and her 7-year-old son, Renee Charles walked on stage for a family hug. "It was a wonderful adventure," Celine said, after the final number.
Now, Celine plans on taking the show on the road, as she'll kick off a tour next year, while Bette Midler will take her place in the Vegas theater with her new gig, "The Showgirl Must Go On." Hopefully Celine will find the time to finally cut her kid's hair. I mean, really, it's a little ridiculous.
