New Las Vegas residency show!

[KyleVan41]

Still nothing from resorts world on the next residency. Caesar’s palace is bumpin with talent and shows and resorts world literally has Carrie underwood That’s it.

 

I gotta say I’m baffled at this point , I post comments asking on their social media and they go silent.

 

I think Celine is going to do something this year as I’ve said before but it’s bonkers it’s taking as long to find out after her off the cuff appearances.

[manu23]

I think, if anything is happening, maybe they want to wait until after the cancelled shows of the Courage tour were supposed to happen to announce? Or maybe they are waiting until the Prime documentary is ready to do a big comeback in all fronts?

[Bruno Portugal]

I don't want to be pessimistic, but I think we should be realistic. Celine Dion has an incurable disease that affects her muscles and even her vocal cords.

A new show in Las Vegas involves an investment of millions. What company or insurance company risks investing so much money without guarantees that the show will actually take place?

Right now my hope is that Celine Dion continues to record new songs and, occasionally, surprise us with public appearances.

Been thinking the same. Don't want Courage ticket holders to feel cheated that their shows were cancelled but now she is back.

 

Then coincided announcement with the documentary release and you have probably one of the biggest comebacks of all time in the music industry,

And by the way, one of the greatest miraculous cures in the history of knowledge of incurable neuromuscular diseases. I wouldn't mind seeing Céline go down in showbiz and medical history at the same time, but knowledge so far makes me doubt it.

 

For several years now, her battle has been ongoing to be able to stand on stage or enter the recording studio even once more - the hurt feelings of ticket holders for the canceled tour do not seem to be a problem of comparable caliber (and I say this as a ticket holder for two cancelled shows).

 

Of course, I'll be glad if I'm wrong.

[mirage]

I fantasize about her comeback, and that somehow she is the only one who can be cured and perform.

 

But I'm having a hard time believe it will actually happen.

The idea that this is it makes me feel sick.

 

Just curious some of you really think Vegas is about to happen, considering all that this disease is doing to her body, the pressure her work brings, and the financial responsibility for everyone involved in delivering a show.

 

All those 'rumors' and supposedly dates when she could announce her comeback, or the schedule of RW.

Is it hope? denial? from some of you?

I think for most it’s just wishful thinking, a way to stay positive. But some are really trap into this idealization. It only took two public appearances to create this buzz that, so far, didn’t bust the fan bubble, as we only see fans talking about a Vegas comeback.

 

Maybe the documentary will shine some light on what comes next for Celine.

I know realistically she may never be able to perform live again. I myself have lived with MS for the last 20 years, so I know there is no cure for these types of neurological diseases. Celine herself would never get on stage if she wasn’t 100% sure she was not going to have a spasm. That fact alone is why it is hard to think she will ever be back.

 

But as fans we all want and hope she is the one to beat the odds. She has given so much for so long and loves performing in front of her fans so so much we want her to be able to do that again. I want more than anything she gets to decide when she is done singing and it not being forced on her by something out of her control.

 

My thought about the announcement is based only on if she has found a cure or a way to control the disease, I see her waiting till the Courage dates pass. Not because I believe she must but because people can be irrational, and some will wonder why she canceled when now she is able to perform again. Personally I do not feel this way, but I’ve learned over the years that people are very irrational.

 

I see the two outings as her saying I am not bedridden or depressed or whatever crazy rumor is out there, I am good so please don’t worry. When she has something to report like either she will be back on stage or the documentary she will do an interview. Right now she is doing what she does, focus on one thing at a time and that is getting better as well as being a mom.

[scielle]

I want to believe, but knowing what little we know of this disease, and knowing how physical what Celine does is... it's just hard to imagine her coming back in any sustained way. But then off course, we don't know the severity of her particular case.

Also, the doc is seemingly done and in post production, which suggests to me maybe they gave up on it following her return to the stage. Her team appears to have moved on to other projects. I don't know... none of it bodes well.

 

I just saw Madonna's Celebration tour this past week, and after the health scare she had last summer, it was obvious how appreciative she was to be able to be on stage again, doing her thing. And it was genuinely inspiring, plus really touching to see her kids be part of the show in such a major way (I haven't really followed her life or career closely so this was a surprise to me - they're seriously impressive!). She's clearly thinking about her legacy and is determined to go out on her own terms.

I really want the same for Celine. She deserves some kind of closure. At least a bit of a happy ending.

Madonna had the chance to heal and comeback continuing what she usually loves which is performing onstage just like Celine when she will have the chance to heal from her illness for sure she will continue doing what she loves. Performing onstage, making records (which us fans doesn’t appreciate much and craving for more which in fact she usually records more than other singers from the trinity and we usually see her more in public with Tours and residency shows which other singers doesn’t do much.)

 

May she heal fast so she can continue bring joy to her fans again and for the people who are secretly rooting for her. We as fans can bring positivity to her. If some can make a video (remember the fans who made her a video and was shown to her vegas show) that would be an amazing effort and she will realize that her fans is still there waiting for her to comeback and giving positive vibes to her just like she was doing to us when she was still able to do it.

 

For now, she wants some understanding to us fans that of course she will have to focus on her health, focusing on recovering. And when the time has come that she recovers she will thank us fans for staying, for understanding, for helping her when she needed some positivity, for still supporting her by listening to her records and she will give us a heck of a show like usually does.

 

The best is yet to come - Celine Dion

And I’m enough to see her going in public after long break of updates, even though she was only in public for 2 times. Going in hockey arena, meeting the players, still giving jokes. Going on shows supporting other singers, meeting some celebrities and exchanging conversations with them. Seeing her looking well, dancing.

 

And I’ll be here waiting for her next update.

 

(Imagine other fans who are waiting for their idol to have updates like making new albums, going on tours for so long like Rihanna. Her last album and tour was back in 2016. Then, jump to 2023 after 7 years they waited that long in order for them to hear new music and seeing her in public again. The amount of patience of her fans is amazing) just a quick realizations

Just out of curiousity, how are you "so sure" that Celine is coming back this year? What has exactly giving you any clues which leads to that conclusion?

 

What, the 2 small appearances at the hockey game/Katy Perry's concert from what, 3 months ago now (since we are about to enter February,) then the COMPLETE SILENCE from her & her "team" since then? Heck we got no holiday greetings from her or her team back in December, & they hardly ever post anymore. Not to mention those articles from her sister Claudette about Celine's health not going so well, which although the "facts" in some of the articles might have been exaggerated by the media, might have some truth to them, going by Celine's & her team's non-existent "rebuttal" towards all those articles, & the non-stop silence from her team since then. & no, I am pretty sure that the silence from her team does not mean that "anything is in the pipeline", just like the silence we have had from her team during the past 2 years. It pretty much means that her health is not doing well at all, & a "comeback" at this point, (or at any point with this very debilitating disorder she is dealing with that might never be cured,) is very unlikely & is more wishful thinking than anything.

[CelinesDIVO5]

GOD PLEASE. MAKE IT STOP.

[Zofia]

 

The idea that this is it makes me feel sick.

 

 

I think almost all of us find ourselves in this synopsis, bro

 

What we know so far is in strong conflict with what we would like. Some people reduce this conflict by replacing unwanted knowledge with wishful thinking. Well, that's human, too. But since even we - neither her relatives, nor her friends, nor her co-workers - have such a problem adapting to the new situation (something of the "shock of December 8" remains in me even now, from which I still can't recover), one can imagine how difficult it must be for her. Not only her career, but her entire life has been derailed: after all, she has been singing forever. It's like taking away a large part of a person's identity.

 

"She didn't deserve it", "It can't end like this, it's too unfair". - I'm told by various friends who don't follow pop music or celebrity life, but know my weakness for Céline (and take my word for it that she's a brilliant performer ). Her case is shocking even to such people. But we know that life is not always arranged according to merit, strength of character and good vibes.

 

Will she return to the stage - I doubt it, although I would very much like it for her. Maybe in a few years? if fate is kind. Because aside from all that has been said here many times before - the volatility of the severity of symptoms and the unpredictability of this disease, the decision to stop work on the documentary, the silence that has not heralded anything good in recent years, last year's change of tone in Claudette's statements from carefree to concerned, etc. - as long as Céline's return would be a simple continuation of an aborted career, it seems unrealistic. Even with a mild course of illness, she won't return until she reinvented herself. And for that, several conditions must be met: 1) Her readiness to get out of "Give me my life" mode (she may have already reached this stage, we don't know), 2) At least a significant part of a new repertoire and a new way of being on stage, 3) Finding a business formula that is safe for everyone with such a high risk of canceling concerts, even intimate and sporadic ones. And for all this you need a dynamic, creative, risk-ready team... Does he have such people around her?

 

Céline would certainly be an ideal patient for rehabilitation after some kind of injury, even a very serious one: she is a fighter, devilishly hard-working and motivated. The problem is that with a disease like SPS, she will sometimes have to negotiate a compromise, not just simply fight for full victory. Her stubborn "100% or nothing," her radicalism and her "côté jusqu'au-boutiste" (as Goldman referred to her) paradoxically do not increase the chances of her comeback.

 

My hope boils down to what previous speakers have already written about: that Céline will be able to decide for herself what to do next; that the disease will not take control of her life. That everything would take place with as little physical and mental pain as possible, which this disease all too often brings more than a person can bear. And that - in addition to professional medical and psychological care for large sums of dollars - Céline would have really close and supportive adults by her side, in addition to her sons. I believe Linda and Sylvie are as wise and loving as they are discreet.

 

One would like to know more by now... But perhaps this ignorance and uncertainty is now the only way to accompany her in this passage through the tunnel at least remotely and symbolically?

Well, Joni Mitchell is performing at the Grammys! Her first time ever!

Yea but just because she made those 2 appearances 3 months ago, really does NOT mean a "comeback" is coming... I wish it did too, but not realistically, going by the complete SILENCE from her & her "team" ever since then... Since 3 months ago, we have had barely any social media posts, no holiday videos or messages from Celine, nothing! So honestly, I do not know where all of these "hunches" of Celine's "comeback" are coming from. It is just "wishful tbinking " from us fans at this point & nothing more than that! After all, besides random rumors from the fanbase, where has there been any news about a "comeback" at all? Not from Team Celine or from anybody official, that's for sure! Pretty much it has all been rumors & wishful thinking.

 

& what are you talking about with RIHANNA "being silent & hiding just like Celine is"? Umm no Rihanna has not been hiding from the public like Celine is, & Rihanna has posted on her social media much more than Team Celine does! Ok yes you are right about Rihanna not recording albums much in recent years, but she has her fashion & makeup products in recent years, so she does do promotion for that, & she hasn't been hiding from the public like Celine has in recent years. Also Rihanna is not suffering from a rare & incurable disorder, which is SPS like poor Celine currently has which has pretty much forced Celine to stop performing on stage & stop singing in general. So why you are comparing Celine & Rihanna to begin with, I don't know. To me it is a totally "apples & oranges" situation right there comparing those 2 ladies.

The lunatic surfaces again. Worse than a neurological disorder it comes back more demented.

[mirage]

Maybe the new documentary will shine a light on her condition. But who knows.

 

Even for her it must be devastating, but my guess is she will find a way. If this is what life is giving her, she will make it work.

 

But a career like hers, ending so abrupt?

She deserves a big final goodbye show.

 

.

I really want the same for Celine. She deserves some kind of closure. At least a bit of a happy ending.

Why would you think Resorts World would leak a major comeback like Celine's on social media?

Won't it be logical for her team to drop hints like the time she did the commercial for RW then she announced the RW residency just to cancel it afterwards.

 

I understand you are impatient as we all are for an update or some good news but unless you work there (for RW) or you manage the contracts that they lay out to their performers, you won't know and why would they tell you to begin with? Plus it's different than The Colosseum where we had an insider that would go on Twitter and give major spoilers on the performers.

I think he is referring to the fact that RW is basically down to ONE headliner when they launched the theatre it was four . Celine, Carrie, Katy and Luke…. Well Celine we know what happened there, 2 others completed the residencies, and now it’s just Carrie who extended her contract.

 

Celine or no Celine, it’s odd that RW hasn’t announced any new headliners… especially in the era of now that artists are flocking to Vegas as they are… I hope for Celine and if NOT than that means RW is probably having a hard time filling their venue… which for a state of the art venue should not be the case if it is.

[Shamrock_1982]

As some have said it’s extremely strange for such a new casino/hotel to all of a sudden have just one performer listed for the whole year in late January with several months of the theatre laying empty.

 

Regardless of her condition this documentary will need some type of promo ahead of its release, whether it’s pre recorded press/tv appearances of her or here’s hoping she’s well enough to make a surprise Grammy’s appearance and then mentions it on the red carpet. No better platform for a musician to get attention and plug something.

 

I am still remaining positive for her for this year that it won’t just be the documentary that we get.

Me too. We know she’s not bedridden or wheelchair bound, and that already is a victory. She may not be able to sustain a full show, but she can be out in public, and can tolerate noise and lights (which many with SPS can’t). That’s also a victory. Last May she wasn’t well enough to attend the LA premiere and they gave up waiting. Seems like in the fall she could have. That tells me there’s been some kind of progress. There’s reason to be optimistic.

Maybe Sony/ AEG PR folks decided that the best strategy to come back with a bang is to emerge from complete silence? Just spitballing here… it’s a stretch, clearly. But we saw her showing up in public for the first time in years had quite the effect. So maybe the silence is part of that.

[Ajax]

Well, I have been positive like everyone else a few month ago when we saw her out in Las Vegas. Especially in such a hard environment with high light, noise etc... I thought it was part of a plan for announcing slowly a return to showbusiness. Maybe not a whole show but something adapted to her condition.

But then this silence.

 

And I don't know but if something was planned, even something small, some people at Sony or in her surrounding would keep things a bit alive, even something really basic on social media. Then the reality is here, her company closed, it looks like no one is in charge of her anymore, they don't even try the minimum by using her legacy for even something that could occur in mid/late 2024.

 

This is sad but facts let no space for hopes in term of a business come back. It doesn't mean she's not ok or her condition is that bad. Just that there is absolutely no sign for a comeback of any form. Sony doesn't even try to make money playing with her repertoire, legacy. It's just weird. Why not take this time to explore her repertoire, show rarities etc, well even if nothing is planned ? It doesn't cost anything.

And not even say hi to her fans at christmas time, fans who she absolutly knows are worried and I guess lost as she was dancing a few month ago in front of everyone ? I don't know, there's something I cant understand here or where I can't find any explanations.

Maybe we all make the mistake of assuming that someone is running all this? Makes informed decisions, manages the information policy, develops the strategy and various options for the vision of the future? The manager probably still isn't there - maybe Céline is living an obsession with returning (realistic or not), she's still surrounded by aging yes-men, her immediate environment is focused on making her physically and mentally comfortable, and AEG/Sony/RW is simply waiting for things to unfold? No one has the guts to say out loud, "You can't make it back," because not only is that too brusque, but no one can be sure about it. And temporarily the boat is being steered by the storm itself.

[scielle]

I suspect that's very much the case.

We've seen it reported her team has been largely let go. I believe Denis Savage is out as well (previously he was listed as Director, Treasurer and Secretary for her 2 Nevada-registered companies, CDA and Feeling - and now, as of Oct'23, it's just Celine herself listed as holding all roles for both entities). And frankly, he's a sound guy. He had no business being her "co-manager" to begin with. I think he just fell into the role because she knew him for so long and had nobody else after parting with Aldo. Similarly, Dave Platel is a marketer from days of yore, when cassette tapes were a thing. Doesn't mean he's cut out to be her manager, with all that entails.

So yes, I agree, aging "yes men", and I don't think she has anyone around her who understands the industry as it is now. Granted, Rene was always "old-school" as well, of course, but at least he knew how to promote her. And now, does she even have proper representation? After the very public ICM debacle, she may have a hard time finding a good agent. Things like presenting at an award show or appearing on a magazine cover don't just happen. You need someone to get you the gig. And after Aldo/ Dave/ Denis (and Celine herself in that deposition) burned the bridges with Rob Prinz, who is that person for her?

 

Not specifically Celine-related, but this is an interesting infographic. It shows the Coachella line-up, but by agency, label, and manager behind the artist. The people who make it all happen.
