Is Celine Dion returning?

11:41 AM PT, May 1 2008

 

Yesterday, Robin Leach broke on his blog a story that negotiations have begun to bring Celine Dion back to Caesars to headline again starting at the end of 2009 or early 2010. I reached AEG Live (which books the venue for Caesars) to get confirmation that it was in negotiations to return a Celine Dion show to Vegas. The official statement released to me:

 

"Right now Celine's focus is on her world wide tour. We (AEG Live) begin the North American tour in August.We love Celine and always keep the door open for her to return to Las Vegas if she wishes."

 

That, of course, implies AEG Live is somehow too busy and Celine too focused with the immediate future to worry about the long-term future, which, of course, is nonsense. And also significant is that this does not answer whether AEG Live is negotiating with Dion's people to return the show to Vegas?

 

At least, AEG Live is clear that the ball is in Dion's court about a return engagement. Of course, that has always been the case. Celine Dion was almost unique among Strip shows in that she closed "A New Day" while still able to sell out every performance.

 

So despite having time to send out a few score words of obfuscation (on what Celine is focused on, how much AEG loves Celine, when her North American tour starts, etc.), when it comes to trying to get a direct "yes" or "no" answer to the question of whether AEG and Dion are negotiating for a return to Vegas, it's: "The AEG spokespeople are unavailable to talk to you."

That'll be great, I'm sure she'll be thrilled :wub:

I highly doubt it it will be 2009 or 2010. If all goes well she will have another baby again in 2009 and I dont think she would wanna perform the 1st year. So if she does do it I dont think it will be before 2011.

Yeah around that time seems real. Not anytime soon

Its would be great if she returned to Vegas. At least we'll have some time to save up for it :lol:

:lol: A lot of time I guess.

It would be amazing if she returned to Vegas! Then maybe I could travel and see her!
