Adele and Celine Dion shared tears at the British singer’s performance.
Dion, 56, was one of many people who attended the “Hello” singer’s final concert in Las Vegas.
In a video clip that spread on social media, Adele was seen bursting into tears after seeing the Canadian musician in the crowd.
The Grammy winner – dressed in an elegant black outfit – then proceeded to greet Dion over a barrier, embracing her in a big hug.
Dion then kissed Adele’s hand before leaving her and sitting in her seat again, before wiping her teary eyes with a handkerchief.
“Leave it to Miss Celine Dion,” Adele said, prompting the music legend to stand up to thunderous cheers from fans in the audience.
talking to BBCNasser, a party-goer who captured the moment on his phone, said: “I really felt like she was proudly handing the keys to Adele. When Adele hugged her, everyone felt what she felt.”
The Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace, where Adele is currently hosting her concert residency, was originally built for Dion’s 2003 debut.
Their mutual admiration for each other is well-documented, with Adele previously showing off her most prized possession: a used piece of Dion’s chewing gum that was framed.
Last month, Adele announced that she would be taking an extended break from music after she finishes her Las Vegas residency in November.

The 36-year-old explained that she has been touring and performing non-stop for nearly three years, and is ready to get back to “living my life.”
“I’ve spent the last seven years building a new life for myself and I want to live it now,” the singer said through tears. “I want to live the life I’ve been building and I’m going to miss you so much.”
The Grammy winner confirmed that this was the “longest” period she had ever performed, and she would likely never commit to such a schedule again.
Meanwhile, Dionne left fans in tears with her “amazing” appearance at the Paris Olympics earlier this year.
It was her first performance since 2022, when she was diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, a rare, incurable disorder that causes stiffness in the trunk and limbs, as well as severe muscle spasms.
She then had to cancel her world tour as she focused on learning to live with the condition.
SPS is an autoimmune and neurological disorder that causes stiffness in the trunk and extremities. Symptoms include stiffness in the trunk and extremities, as well as muscle spasms.
Dion has previously said that when her condition is at its worst, it feels like someone is pressing on her larynx and pharynx when she tries to sing.
