CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
LAS VEGAS (Feb. 17, 2013) - We regret to inform you that Celine performances Tuesday, Feb. 19 through Friday, Feb. 22 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace have been cancelled.

Celine’s previously scheduled dates Feb. 26 through Mar. 16 will proceed as scheduled.
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. Ticket holders who purchased through Ticketmaster may call 1-877-4-CELINE (1-877-423-5463).

Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
My wife and I were married in Las Vegas in 2002. For our 10th anniversary in 2012, I made arrangements for a return to Las Vegas to celebrate both our anniversary and my wife’s 50th birthday. The highlight of the trip where tickets to one of my wife’s favourite entertainers, Celine! We gathered at the Coliseum at the appointed hour to be informed that the concert had been cancelled! The explanation was that Ms. Dion was sick. We were disappointed but did understand. A year later, almost to the day, we returned to Las Vegas, with the intention of attending the concert we had missed a year earlier. You can only imagine our surprise when, once again, the concert was cancelled!! Really!! I don’t believe there will be a third attempt!

I Love Celine<3<3<3

Celine if you are reading this, I wanted to let you know that my mom is going to be in the audience on Feb.27. She has been inspired by you for years now. About 13 years ago she gave 60% of her liver to her father. It was a true sacrifice!!!! Heroic in my opinion. She had 5 young children at the time and spent her days praying and filled the rooms of our house with your music! She never takes credit for the amazing things she has done. She has lived unselfishly and for one night, Celine, my dad is making one of her dreams come true by taking her to your show! I wasn't sure how to contact you but I wanted to ask you for a sincere favor.. if somehow she could meet you...or be recognized by you.. it would make her whole world. March 1 is the anniversary date. Please remember Collette Schroeder and her Husband Kenny.. they will be there for sure!!!Praying that you are well. God Bless!!!
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
I just wanted to send Celine some get well wishes!! I am a true Celine fan and was just in Vegas and had tickets to the Feb.19th show. I was also crushed to not to be able to see her since this was my second attempt from my home in NY! Yes we are all human and we all have the right to be upset. We are TRUE fans when we save and save and plan these trips to Vegas which is not just down the street or in the next towns or citys from alot of her fans homes and it is more than just about the price of a concert ticket! I hope Celine does read these posts to see how DEVOTED her fans truley are!! Much love from your fan Brian!
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
I understand disappointment but some "fans" are just rude. She is human, isn't she? I have tickets for the 26th and if she cancels well then c'est la vie. I will still have a nice little get away with my husband
Take care Celine 
How can you not love this woman!

Celine, take care of yourself and get well soon!!!!

Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
By its very definition, a “fan” is “one who is an enthusiastic devotee, a supporter, or booster.” I understand disappointments, but as a fan, we are here to support Celine, boost her up in times of trial. She needs boosting and understanding. Personally, I’ve had two types of flu for 5 weeks, and I practice health care precautions, received the flu shot, etc. We are all human and, as such, things happen. Both cancellations in February?? We in the USA are at the height of the flu and cold season. Happens every year at this time. If those abroad are planning to return, please come in June, July or August. Please, let’s support Celine in her career and in her life. Sharing your disappointment is one thing…..that’s therapeutic. Complaining simply shows the rest of us that you are very self-focused and only concerned with how the situation affects you. Need a model? Read Debbie Melville's post. She wonderfully shares her disappoinment yet deeply supports Celine. Bravo, Debbie!
Celine: Best wishes as you recover. I’m praying for you.
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
I was booked to see Celine in Brisbane,Australia when she had to cancel due to illness. She was so upset that she had to disappoint her fans that she cried at the following performance! She is such a genuine person and would never intentionally hurt her fans. I have travelled from Australia to see her perform tomorrow night in Vegas - it was my 50th birthday present from my three sons. I am very disappointed, but I understand we have no control over illness. Should you read this Celine, I wish you only love and a speedy recovery, I have been a loyal fan since the outset and I pray one day I will have the opportunity to see your Vegas show. God bless you, Debbie x

Dear CélineDion.com,
please let us know if Céline feels a bit better.
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Get well soon Céline! But maybe the Las Vegas adventure should slow down even more... it's giving too much trouble now (the albums are delayed over and over again, other projects cancelled because of Vegas contract, and what's worst, your health suffers)
Hush now... I see a light in the sky! A New Day Will Come
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Feel better Celine!!
I am soooooooooo disappointed my husband and I AGAIN can not see you live in concert. We have never seen you live in concert and planned the trip down last year but you cancelled due to illness. We were really disappointment but we made the most out of the trip...
So we plannned another trip down and We were super excited when we got tickets to see you up close in the front orchestra 4 row 5 and now I am in tears!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree I can not complain because I will get a refund BUT I really really wanted to see this concert and the reinbursement is nothing compared to the disappointment.. Last year, we planned the trip down from Canada and we got the last minute cancellation a day before and now this news...
I am soooooo heartbroken, I know she really didn't want to do this to her fans...... what are the chances of this happening twice to us..????...
:( 
I sincerely hope Celine feels better but I am truly heart broken as I dont know if I can plan another trip down again and get the same tickets and take disappointment......Guess its not meant to be.. **sigh.
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Poor Celine!!!! Get well soon!!!
I love you so much!!! <3

Hope to see you in March .

Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
People who r posting negative coments r just plain rude! Everybody gets sick! I just got ove penomia (hope i spelled tht rite). If u r posting negative comments, u r not a Celine fan!
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Wow. That's twice I have purchased tickets to see Celine since her illness last year and the show was cancelled. I truly understand and wish her well. It's just I have been wanting to see this class act for years and have unfortunately been shot down (cancelled) twice now. Unreal. I have yet to see her. Such a dissappointment.
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
I'm sad to know that Celine's sick, I hope she reculpere fast and can get back to shows at The Colosseum, I'm sorry for the fans who would watch the shows canceled
I love you so much Celine <3
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Wow! It just amazes me how so many adults can act like children when they don't get their own way! People get sick, Celine is human, she gets sick! She can't predict if or when that might happen. When you purchase tickets to anything, there is always a chance it may get cancelled. You are getting a refund for the tickets. It was your choice to travel from as far as you are, make the most of it and still have a nice vacation.
I bet the people complaining the most are the same ones that call into their jobs when they have a little sniffle!
Also, these aren't true fans. If they were they wouldn't even want Celine to perform when she is that ill.
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Wow I have never heard so much negativity on this website before. I guess that's what happens when you make a fan club free and ANYONE even people who are not true fans can join. People get sick. Celine is not a GOD.... She is a person....she gets sick like everyone else. She does not like to cancel her shows, she knows her fans plan their trips and if there was anyway she could perform she would be. For people to be talking negatively about her for something that she cannot control is sickening. I have seen celine many times in Vegas and I also lost $1000 last year when she was sick and cancelled.... So what!! I have tickets this year and if she gets sick and cancelles I will still love her because it is BEYOND HER CONTROL!!!! If you are not a fan and want to put negative comments on her website then deactivate your account..... You are not wanted here... Celine needs positive words and encouragement not nastiness!!!!
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Get well soon!
I hope,will have the chance to see you, in a live concert for once, before we die or you stop singing. My wife is your bigest fan from Arizona.
we tried several times with no success, but this time, everything worked so well, untill this morning. Now is our 15th year anniversary, and will just have to find something else to do in Vegas this time ( we are not gamblers).
GOD bless you !
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
We are SOOOOOOO disappointed ! We came from France and we were so looking forward to this concert on wednesday.
I don't know if we'll ever be able to see her now
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Get well soon Celine, we know it's not easy for you to cancel shows
I also hope that this didn't affect to the shooting of the video for Qui Peut Vivre Sans Amour
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Sorry to hear you are not well, but bitterly disappointed for my daughter who travelled from London to Las Vegas yesterday purely to see you. I bought the tickets for her 21st birthday present.
Get well soon.
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22

I Hoppe you feel better

Believe me, it's not easy for Céline to cancel any show. She is ill, and everyone should be able to understand that unexpected circumstances.
Céline, I hope you feel better soon!

Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Dear Celine, i don't speak english, because of that the following words will be in spanish. And if you are any interested you should translate it:
Mi nombre es Gabriel, tengo 22 años; he vivido en Argentina toda mi vida, un país en el que lamentablemente tu voz no tiene la difusión que se merece. Sin embargo he tenido el agrado de maravillarme con tu arte gracias a un gran amigo con el que, gracias a Dios, la vida me ha cruzado; su nombre es Mariano Rodríguez y es por él que me encuentro redactando estas palabras.
A pesar de que todo indique que una estrella como vos jamás se sentaría a leer todos los comentarios, yo entiendo que también sos una persona, como todos nosotros, y una corazonada me permite creer que "lo imposible" puede suceder; al fin y al cabo nada es imposible, no?
Mariano y yo vivimos en Buenos Aires, ambos trabajamos demasiado para poder tener una vida mejor a la que nuestros padres pudieron ofrecernos. Hace dos años Mariano me propuso hacer un viaje que implicaba cumplir el sueño de su vida: verte cantar en vivo. Lo pensamos mucho, lo conversamos mucho y finalmente decidimos realizar el viaje. Habíamos sacado los pasajes para el mes de Octubre del 2012 pero al enterarnos que vos no te presentabas en Las Vegas debido al lanzamiento de tu disco en Europa tuvimos que cambiar la fecha de los pasajes para el mes de Febrero del 2013, lo cual nos resultó muy costoso. Hoy, lunes 18 de Febrero, el sueño de Mariano estaba a punto de cumplirse; estamos en NY a tan sólo un día de viajar a Las Vegas... ups!
Realmente yo no sé qué busco escribiendo estas palabras, magia quizás, pero quiero que sepas que lo que menos nos duele es el dinero, sino la mala suerte que nos acompaña.
Realmente deseo que te mejores, tu voz le hace bien a mucha gente y por eso debe seguir sonando.
Buena vida Celine! (zampinigabriel@gmail.com)
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Pour moi aussi c'est la même chose... j'attend ce moment depuis 3 ans, maintenant que c'est fait... et $3 000 plus tard nous sommes enfin à Las Vegas pour le show de mardi le 19 et... il est cancellé même pas 48hres d'avance. Je viens de Montréal, Canada. Tout ce que je veux maintenant c'est retourner chez-moi et être remboursée. Je ne reviendrai pas à Vegas, c'est certain alors, too bad... je ne verrai jamais son show. Mais j'aurais apprécié en être avertie d'avance, comme ça je serais restée bien blotie chez-moi sans dépenser tout cet argent pour rien du tout ! (Sans compter tous les restos que nous devrons nous payer jusqu'à notre retour jeudi....) Si on fait un calcul vite, c'est pas loin de $4 000 jetté à l'eau. La morale: ne bouquez jamais un voyage pour un show car vous risquez d'être très très déçus !
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
I cant bellieve it. I came from argentina to see her. I ve been planning this trip since 2 years ago. I spend a entire year saving money, and now, i am in usa and there is nothing i can do. She can fly to china and get sick, and cancell my unique opportunity to see her in person. Sorry, but i am so dissappointed! I am a big fan. I hope life gives me the opportunity to see her sometime.i had tickets for wenesday and friday shows... and both were cancelled. I cant bellieve!!!!!! Still, she will never read this. So... i dont know why i am writing.
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Annoyed is putting it mildly as to how we feel. Cancelled 2 consecutive years with no compensation for flights or hotels. Will NOT bother again.
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Get better Celine! We truly love your music!! We are huge fans!
Since Celine's first recording album my mom has been a huge fan of her music and that she is Canadian. She brought all 8 cd's in the car on our road trip to Minot, where we are flying out on Monday to Vegas to see Celine on Tuesday night!
In January 2012 my mom was diagnosed with Parkinson's at the age of 66. In the fall, after much discussion I convinced my mom to travel with me to Vegas to see her all time favourite singer...Celine Dion! I wanted her to have this experience before she was not able to travel comfortably anymore.
We are headed to Vegas because the trip is booked but saddened we will not see Celine. I wanted so badly to experience this with my mom.
Know we still love you Celine! Maybe we will meet/see you soon!
The Saskatchewan Girls!
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
We had tickets for February 2012 and were in Vegas and her show was cancelled. We rescheduled again this February and it was cancelled again. It's great they refund us for concert, but were still out for the airfare and hotel 2 years in a row. Guess its not meant to be for us to go to her concert. So we won't schedule again.
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
What do you do when you've planned a whole trip, with great friends, around seeing Celine? We have a time share booked, airfare, childcare arranged, and a year of planning to see friends who live in another state. And now we are just left devastated and speechless... What do we do?
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
Been trying to save enough money to buy my mother tickets to see her. Finally, for Christmas and birthday, my sister and I were able to give my mother tickets to Celine Dion (Feb 22) and a vegas trip. She has been sending me celine song quotes and texts counting down the days for weeks now. I am completely heartbroken for her that she will not get to see her favorite singer. Utterly heartbroken.
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
i can not belive it!! i still have the tickets from last year, same date and cancelled too, same reasson. i am heartbroken..... i feel like it will be imposible to have the opportunity to travel again to try to see you. i suppose to tell you "get well"..... so .... get well.
Re: CELINE PERFORMANCES AT THE COLOSSEUM AT CAESARS PALACE CANCELLED THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22
I hope you feel better!!! You have been having bad luck with getting sick lately...... Just terrible..... Rest up and take care of yourself!!!!
