Honestly if she’s gonna do any random cover at least this one is good… however they have a newer playback of it I’m sure that’s factoring into it too. Quote

Why would they be there and Celine in Vegas… At this point I'm sure rehearsals are happening on a soundstage somewhere in Las Vegas, I doubt Celine has even rehearsed with the band yet, I’m sure she’s doing her own version of rehearsals before they put it all together. If anyone knew where Scott Price is currently it would give us a better idea. Also, curious if Elise, Dawn and Barnev are returning for backing vocals and if so where are they? 1 Quote

AdrienneM Posted August 8, 2026 at 06:59 PM Posted August 8, 2026 at 06:59 PM (edited) If Elise really has moved on then that’ll be sad. They were together (I think) the longest out of her entire musical family. Edited August 8, 2026 at 06:59 PM by AdrienneM 1 1 Quote

I think it depends on whether Denis Savage is still doing sound or not post being co-manager (he's Élise's husband), which I don't know since the management changes over the recent years. He was there for the Olympics though. Edited August 8, 2026 at 07:02 PM by Els 1 Quote

jpatdeleon09 Posted August 9, 2026 at 05:28 AM Posted August 9, 2026 at 05:28 AM I just found out that this guy, Jeff Smallwood, who I’ve seen in her CWT, was a long-time member of Céline’s band way back in the Falling Into You tour. I thought he was new. I guess the members of her band just go and be back again. Like Picard. He came back around 2015. 2 Quote

"Then, the next day, we leave for France to rehearse for another ten days, and after that, the shows start." (...) "And the best part is that we're playing at La Défense for every single show. So no tour buses, and the hotel is within walking distance." 5 Quote

Then I went back to the event travel site and found out that they say at the very bottom they would be sending tickets a week before the show. I understand everything involved with the associated package thing is handed out in the venue. 2 Quote
