Celine Dion was honoured this weekend by a world-class cellist, HAUSER, with a rendition of her Titanic theme song.
On Saturday night, June 22, the songstress, 56, widely acclaimed as Queen of Power Ballads, graced the Rebel With a Cello show at Wynn Las Vegas, as per TMZ.
The cello player, born Stjepan Hauser, was aware of Dion’s presence at his show as she was welcomed with a huge round of applause while making her way to her seat.
Pounding over the opportunity, he went to pay tribute to the special guest with a performance of Dion’s iconic track, My Heart Will Go On.
Céline Dion and her twin sons had a family fun night celebrating one of her favorite artists — Hauser!
The legendary performer, 56, made a rare public appearance amid her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis to attend the Croatian cellist’s show at Wynn Las Vegas’ Encore Theater on Saturday, June 22, with her sons Nelson and Eddy, 13.
Hauser reflected on meeting Dion in a compilation video shared on Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday, June 25.
The video began with a view of Dion telling the musician, “I’m such — in fact — I’m a big fan.”
After Hauser responds, “I’m your biggest fan,” Dion jokes, “No. Let’s fight. I am the biggest fan.” The two then share a hug.
The clip also shows Dion walking into the concert and Hauser playing her beloved classic, “My Heart Will Go On.”
“I actually want to dedicate this performance to my favorite singer of all time. And she’s here, believe it or not, Céline Dion,” Hauser is heard telling the crowd.
He further gushed over “The Power of Love” singer in the caption of his post writing, “We are each other’s biggest fans!🙏❤️ Patiently waiting for our duet and I know that she will be back on stage stronger than ever, because there is only one Celine! 💪🔥 @celinedion.”
In another post, Hauser shared that meeting Dion was something he’s been waiting to do “for a long time.”
“Thank You @celinedion for coming to my show in Vegas with your family, it was an honor 🙏❤️,” he added.
Dion’s appearance at the concert comes days after she returned to the red carpet with her eldest son René-Charles Angélil for a screening of her documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, in New York City.
Soon, she realised that the cheers were not only for the Croatian native but the concertgoers were also clapping for her to which she nodded with thanks.
Although Hauser tried to have her on stage to perform the 27-year-old song together, Dion politely turned down his request as sheis battling with stiff muscle syndrome.
However, she met him after the show and snapped pictures to capture the moment.
