No.

I'm still shocked she hasn't mentioned a word about them. Not a word lol. It's kinda awkward.

That is weird! Maybe she still doesn't know what to do with the situation...

What I actually do think that is appalling is that André and Jean Seb are photoshopped out of the new program!! WTF??!? :angry:

Why would they even do this??? If this is the way they think of the old members, then we are never seeing official footage of the original Vegas run on any dvd! :down:

That's terrible. The old band members were a big part of Celine's career. They can't just erase them with Photoshop.

Yep, like I said, cutting the heads off the old bf/gf in the pics!!!

I agree, she probably doesn't know how to handle the situation. She hasn't said one word.

I think they know about the upset that it caused.

Again, don't want to beat a dead horse, but during Purple Rain.................. I just think of Andre getting that solo................ and the interaction she would have with someone familiar.........

I'm surprised too.

I understand the opening night was not the time to make proper band introduction, but not a word is awkward.

I thought during an interlude or so she could have just mentionned their name, get applause from public and a bow from the musician.

And what is the thing with the program ? I did not get it. Did they keep the old photos and just put new heads on them ??

No, they just photo-shopped the old members completely out.

There'll probably be a new programme next year anyway, with photos from the show/the new dresses etc.

well for the first 3 shows , she didn't mention anything about the band ,,members

I have and he has accepted me as a friend.

Not really a new band member, but a new part of Céline's technical team: Rob Mancuso - Céline's monitor engineer.

He has worked with a lot of great female (francophone) voices over the past years; Natasha St.Pier, Isabelle Boulay, Véronique Dicaire (probably how he got in touch with Céline's team) and he has worked for about 5 years with the one and only Lara Fabian!! He also has his own YouTube channel, where he published a lot of behind the scenes videos, especially with Lara. Let's hope he can do the same with Céline!

Posted September 22, 2015 at 12:37 PM · September 22, 2015 at 12:37 PM

I still can't help wondering what happened and why around this entire story. Scott and the new band are great, no question, but remembering when Celine put up a fight when they were gonna let go some of the AND dancers... makes you wonder what Aldo did to convince Celine to replace Mego and the old gang. Guess we'll never know.

He did not leave her, contracts of him and others were not renewed.

really? why did she put up a fight back then?

Aldo said that for things like that , he have all the power...or he would not be there. He explained why he did that. That when you have a job for too long, it happens that you became less enthousist . He wanted new blood.

Posted September 22, 2015 at 03:54 PM · September 22, 2015 at 03:54 PM

Yes, it's understandable in a way that Aldo wanted to bring in some of his own people rather than keep a whole team of Rene's. Probably anyone who would take on a high powered position like this would want the same. Aldo said he wouldn't have taken the job if he didn't have carte blanche.

But I still think it's sad. That team experienced so much with Celine and there was such mutual respect and loyalty there.

And her chemistry with the new guitar player is nothing close to her chemistry with Andre. (How could it be? She's only spent a few hours with the new one). Imagine Purple Rain with Andre. That would be extraordinary.

i know, but to be sad is ok....but i understand why he did that,, maybe he needed new blood, i think that Scott is taking it seriously . And it changes things for Celine also , forcing her in a way to adapt and bring new ideas. What's done is done, they had a great run. I hope they have enough money for a while, i think they deserve that . Edited September 22, 2015 at 04:20 PM by québecflower

FULL-FLEDGED SCANDAL! Whoever's responsible for that photoshop-s**t should be FIRED right away!

AND: They photoshopped Seb away - but his guitars remained? WTF :angry:

And do you know what Seb's doing now? He is franchise owner of a fitness center (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) - My heart broke as I discovered ...

Scott Price sings!

With his wife! (Or, I believe future wife, at the time. But I think they're still married.)

Oh...80s...

This woman (Martine Chevrier) has released a French version of ''The Power Of Love'' in 1992 :

Now this makes me wonder if Celine also recorded a French version. :w00t:
