Celine and Concerts West/ AEG Presents consider the safety and health of patrons as a top priority.

"I was really looking forward to seeing all of you in Europe this summer, but unfortunately because of the situation in our world things just keep getting pushed back. But please don't despair, we feel really good about doing the shows in 2023 and I can't wait to finally see you. 2023 here we come!" said Celine Dion Celine Dion has won numer- ous awards by the age of 18, dominated the pop charts in 1990s and has sold almost 250 million albums during her over 35-year career.
