Old School. Biblically Independent.

What do you do when you complete your record-breaking comeback residency in Paris? How do you chill out after putting on the gig of the year? If you're Celine Dion, you go to Las Vegas and rock out to Metallica. Celine the metal queen?
Metallica is the current headliner at Sphere in Vegas with the "Life Burns Faster" residency. Two shows are performed back-to-back weekly with entirely different set lists. The band are playing some songs they haven't performed live in years, so it's a big deal for the die-hard fans. Is Celine among them? she was seen getting super into it from the VIP section, alongside Jack Black.
Hell yeah. She's more on beat with that air-drumming than Lars.
Celine is flanked by her twin sons, Eddy and Nelson. I appreciate how one of them is absolutely living for this moment while the other is giving "bored guardian tolerating the noise until it's time to go home." Also, that's one hell of a beard for a 16 year old. He's ready for the roadie life.
The Dion-Angelils hung out with the band later. I've already seen people describing Celine as cringe and performative for this, which is always tedious. Babes, Celine is free because she has embraced her weirdness for decades. Let her have a ball at Metallica without some Reddit weirdo demanding she name ten of their best deep cuts. Next, we need to see James Hetfield lip-syncing to "It's All Coming Back to Me Now."
