Céline Cancels More Shows

The performances of A New Day... scheduled for Thursday April 20, Friday April 21, Saturday April 22 and Sunday April 23 have been cancelled.

Medically known as viral labyrinthitis, the condition causes nausea, dizziness, and general weakness. Her doctor has prescribed medication to treat the associated irritations, and instructed her to rest for the next 5 days, so that the virus can run its course.

Those who purchased tickets with a credit card for the cancelled performances will be automatically refunded. Those who purchased tickets with cash may present tickets at the original point of sale for a refund. For ticket exchanges for a future performance, please contact the original point of purchase.

Céline’s wax statue, soon at Caesars Palace!

(7: 30 p.m. GMT) A team of Grévin Museum is working on the creation of a second wax statue which will be placed inside the Caesars Palace of Las Vegas where Céline Dion has been singing each week for three years. Capped with a chignon - rather than with long smooth hair like its Parisian "twin" placed at the Parisian museum - Las Vegas’ statue will also be dressed differently. "The wax statue will wear the blue dress that Céline wore in 1998 when she received a Grammy Award for her song from Titanic", reveals the spokesman of the Museum, Veronique Berecz. The dress isn’t the original one, but it was made out of the same fabric which was used to manufacture it.

"That was not a small matter since we had to contact Michael Kors, the stylist who made the dress, so that he helps us to find the original fabric", indicates the spokesman. Ironically, the invaluable material came from the mark Celine, a dressmaker who, even if he has the same name, has no link with the singer. The statue with the right hand on the chest will be identical to the Parisian one.

The "twin"-statue will be unveiled during Céline Dion’s 500th show in Las Vegas, on May 7th. A team of the Grévin Museum - the sculptor Claus Velte and the director of the Museum herself, Béatrice de Reyniès - is already on the spot to check its installation and other details. "The statue left Paris last Tuesday", specified Mrs. Berecz, while explaining with which high care the fragile wax work was installed on the plane. "A specialized team transported it as if Mona Lisa were transported. After all, it is a work of art which was created by artists ", she said. The inauguration of the statue in Las Vegas will be the very first one in the United States for the prestigious French museum.

"A New Videoclip Is Coming..."

(7:30 a.m. GMT) Singer Marc Dupré will record his new videoclip «Tout près du bonheur» with Céline Dion in the desert of Las Vegas. Dan Bigras will produce the video. Tout près du bonheur is the sole song that Céline Dion ever wrote. She offered it to Marc Dupré, her son-in-law, for his wedding with Anne-Marie Angélil in 2000 and the singer recorded this priceless song on his first album, Refaire le monde.

Marc Dupré will record the video of this song in Las Vegas on May 8th, the day after the Céline Dion's 500th show at The Colosseum at Ceasars Palace. Céline Dion, who sings the chorus of that song, will appear in the videoclip, acting herself. René Angélil was contacted and he immediately appreciated this collaboration. Dan Bigras also talked with Céline Dion, who improved some points. After this discussion, Dan wrote a synopsis which suited everybody.

Dan Bigras' video will be a mini-film, a fiction in which we'll see a man and a woman falling in love. The scenes will be shot in the desert of Las vegas, in a casino and also in a studio. Anne-Marie and Marc will play those parts. The song written and performed by Céline at Marc Dupré and Anne-Marie Angélil's wedding deals with hope and lasting love. It should be a lucky song and worked well since the couple have now three children.

Marc Dupré have recorded a new remixed version, more rock of «Tout près du bonheur», in which we can hear more Céline Dion's voice. This version will be available on the next album of the singer, soon in stores. The new version of «Tout près du bonheur» will be on radio as from April 11th. That video will be aired in the half of May. Marc Dupré's album, Refaire le monde, was launched on October 18th and Tout près du bonheur will be the fourth single.
