Music Legend, 57, Makes Rare Public Appearance Amid Heartbreaking Diagnosis
Celine Dion made a very rare public appearance in Las Vegas on June 6. The music icon took in Coldplay's show and shared a post about her experience on Instagram a few days later — and she gave the show her seal of approval.
"What an unforgettable evening with @Coldplay at @AllegiantStadium…My heart is still singing," Dion captioned a post that included photos from her backstage as well as in the stands at Allegiant Stadium.
Dion attended the concert with her sons, René-Charles Angélil and twins Nelson and Eddy Angélil.
"A heartfelt thanks to the band and their amazing team for welcoming my family with warmth and kindness. It was all…fantastique," she added.
Dozens of fans reacted to Dion's post in the comments section, many excited to see her out and about as she continues treatment for Stiff Person Syndrome, which has kept her from performing.
"You look so beautiful. So happy to see you!!!!" one person wrote.
"It's so amazing to see you having fun and doing well," someone else said.
"Couldn't be more happy for seeing you having fun with your sons," a third comment read.
"It's so good to see Celine out and about enjoying herself with her boys and looking fabulous," a fourth Instagram user echoed.

Dion has performed a handful of times over the past couple of years, but her appearances tend to be sporadic.

Pixar fires back at fans, critics on social media after ‘Elio' flops
Pixar is clearly frustrated by the dismal box office performance of its latest feature ' Elio,' and is starting to hit back at its critics on social media. The Emeryville-based animation studio, owned by Disney, recently posted a video to Instagram that follows a new internet trend where people share hard truths off-screen and then pretend they don't know where the source of the statement is. In this case, an unidentified woman sitting in a car is looking off screen when she says, 'Stop complaining that Disney doesn't make original stories if you don't show up to movie theaters and support them in the first place.' After a sound effect 'alerts' the woman that she is being filmed, she looks at the camera and says, 'Oh, my gosh, I thought I was the only one in my car!' She then holds up a poster for ' Elio ' and says, 'Anyways, there's a new original story from Disney Pixar ... called 'Elio,' you should go and support it.' 'Elio' opened in theaters on June 20, and so far is the worst performing Pixar movie in its history despite strong reviews, including by the Chronicle. As of Monday, June 30, the film holds an 83% approval rating by critics and 91% from audiences on review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes. But that hasn't translated to ticket sales. After two weekends in theaters, the $150 million film about a lonely boy who becomes a galactic ambassador for Earth has grossed about $42 million domestically and $72 million globally. At issue is criticism leveled at the animation giant that it makes too many sequels and not enough movies based on new stories. Last year's ' Inside Out 2 ' took in $1.7 billion at the global box office and briefly became the highest-grossing animated film of all time. Next year's slate includes ' Toy Story 5,' with ' Incredibles 3 ' also in the works. But original films have struggled since ' Onward ' was released in theaters in 2020 on the cusp of the pandemic. ' Soul ' (late 2020), ' Luca ' (2021) and ' Turning Red ' (2022) all went straight to streaming on Disney+, while ' Lightyear ' (2022), an offshoot of the 'Toy Story' series, underperformed in theaters. ' Elemental ' (2023), an original film, also had a weak box office opening but hung around in theaters and eventually became a sleeper hit. With this new social media post, Pixar is hoping that 'Elio' can do the same.

Deion Sanders health improving as Colorado head coach eyes Big 12 media days
🔥 New Coach Prime x Ossacin TrackLil Wayne Showing Love"I gotta walk with this thing. Thing on my mind right now. I gotta get it off. Imma keep it 100"📽️ @DeionSandersJr Deion Sanders appears to be on the mend. A new video released by his son showed the Colorado football head coach walking gingerly around his Texas estate a week before Sanders is scheduled to appear at Big 12 media days. The video posted by Deion Sanders Jr. showed the 57-year-old coach receiving a visit from rapper Lil Wayne, one of several celebrity friends who have visited Sanders while he recovers from an unspecified health problem. Sanders and five players will represent Colorado on July 9 as part of the Big 12 annual media event. While it is expected that Sanders attends, his health has been a significant concern over the past few months. If he shows up in Frisco, Texas, next week, it would be Sanders' first public appearance since April when the Buffs wrapped up spring camp. He missed the football program's annual youth summer camps as well as Travis Hunter's wedding in late May. The only information Sanders divulged about his condition is that he lost 14 pounds, saying on a podcast with Asante Samuel that what he is dealing with "is at a another level." Once Big 12 media days start next week, Colorado enters the preparation phase for the 2025 season. The Buffs open the season with a home game against Georgia Tech on Aug. 29.
