Celeb encounter leaves Adele sobbing mid-show

Adele got the shock of her life as she walked through the audience at her Vegas residency, spotting a very famous face who left her in tears.

Adele broke down in tears when she spotted Celine Dion sitting in the audience at her Las Vegas residency show at the Colosseum Theater in Caesars Palace on Saturday.

Per a video posted to X, the British pop star was roaming amongst the crowd while singing her 2015 hit When We Were Young when she came across Dion.

Immediately, Adele, 36, stopped singing and was visibly overwhelmed with emotion, as she went in to hug the My Heart Will Go On songstress, 56, who was seated with her 14-year-old twin sons twins, Nelson and Eddy.

The crowd cheered watching the two music icons embrace each other while crying and exchanging a few words.

Dion warmingly grabbed the Hello singer’s hand, held it to her face and kissed it before they went their separate ways.

It took Adele a few moments to get back into the grove, as she walked away while wiping tears from her eyes.

As for Dion, another clip showed her dabbing her face with a tissue as she was comforted by another attendee.

Adele, meanwhile, returned to the stage to give the I’m Alive singer a proper introduction.

“Give it up for Mrs. Celine Dion,” the Easy On Me singer said, as Dion stood up and waved to the excited audience.

Several fans admitted they got emotional while watching the sweet exchange, with one commenting, “This is just so pure and emotional to watch … Adele and Celine are such a moment.”

“why am I crying also,” another added, as a third chimed in, “Adele’s emotional reaction to seeing Celine Dion at her Vegas show is a beautiful reminder of the mutual respect and admiration between music icons.”

In the past, Adele hasn’t shied away from sharing her love for Dion, admitting she keeps a piece of the hitmaker’s chewed gum in her home.

In 2017, Dion also presented Adele with the Grammy award for song of the year for her track Hello.

The All By Myself singer, however, slowly entered back into the public spotlight this year amid her battle with stiff person syndrome.

Earlier this year, Dion made a comeback at the Grammy’s in February, and later performed at the Paris Olympics in July.
