Celine Dion
Vocal powerhouse Celine Dion is one of the most immediately recognized, widely respected, and successful performers in pop music history. She won numerous awards by the age of 18, dominated the pop charts in 1990s, and has sold almost 250 million albums during her over 35-year career. Dion has earned five Grammy Awards, two Academy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 20 Juno Awards (Canada), and an astonishing 40 Félix Awards (Quebec). She remains one of the most sought-after recording artists, receiving the Diamond Award at the 2004 World Music Awards, recognizing her status as the best-selling female artist of all time. In 2016 the Billboard Music Awards presented Dion with the lifetime achievement Icon Award. She continued to break records with her Las Vegas residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, playing over 1,100 shows to more than 4.5 million fans. She also topped the Billboard U.S. dance club charts in July 2018 with the remix of her single “Ashes” from the Deadpool 2 movie soundtrack. On June 8, 2019, Dion’s iconic 16-year Las Vegas residency came to an end. The much-anticipated Courage world tour kicked off three months later in her home province of Quebec. On November 15, 2019, Dion released her first English album in six years, Courage, an eclectic album representing her new artistic direction. The album includes the hits “Imperfections,” “Lying Down,” and “Courage,” all released on the same day that Dion launched her massive world tour.
