On Saturday, October 26, Adele was singing When We Were Young at The Colosseum at Ceasar’s Palace when she spotted Celine sitting in a lower-level box seat. A video posted on X shows Adele approaching Celine mid-performance and giving her a warm embrace.

Tears stream down Adele’s face as she holds the I’m Alive singer close. The two share a few words, and Celine kisses Adele’s hand before Adele returns to her song.

Another fan video shows Adele holding back sobs as she belts her lyrics and dabs tears while engaging with visibly moved fans from the aisle.

 “This is just so pure and emotional to watch… Adele and Céline are such a moment,” a fan wrote in the comments of another video.

“Wow, Celine is weeping. I love seeing gratitude on celebrities,” added another. “What a moment.”

Adele, a self-proclaimed Celine Dion super fan, has supported Celine’s illustrious career throughout the decades and no doubt found inspiration in her work. Celine dropped her first single at only 12 and went on to become one of the most influential and iconic singers in history.

However, the 56-year-old has largely stayed out of the spotlight after being diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that causes painful stiffness and spasms in the muscles.

Per the Los Angeles Times, the five-time Grammy winner shared that her illness affects “every aspect” of her life, down to walking and breathing. It also took a toll on her vocal cords, which halted her career.

Celine Dion took a break from singing in 2019. After undergoing treatment and therapy, she made a triumphant return to the stage during the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony. She hasn’t performed since. But the powerhouse singer continues to work with doctors and therapists and is determined to regain her strength.

“I’m going to go back onstage, even if I have to crawl. Even if I have to talk with my hands, I will. I will,” she told Today in June. “I am Celine Dion—because today my voice will be heard for the first time, not just because I have to or because I need to. It’s because I want to, and I miss it.”
