C\u00e9line Dion is wrapping up her longtime residency in Las Vegas, but the pop icon says she’s heading into a “big” new chapter with a world tour starting in September.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Power of Love<\/em>\u00a0singer\u00a0announced Wednesday during a live streamed performance at the Ace Hotel in L.A. that she’ll also be releasing a new album \u2014 likely in November \u2014 and counts\u00a0Chandelier<\/em>\u00a0singer-songwriter Sia among the collaborators.<\/p>\n “I feel I’m in charge of my life,” Dion\u00a0told CBC\u00a0News during a sit-down interview Wednesday in Los Angeles. “I’m 51 years old and I’m\u00a0at the best of my gig.”<\/p>\n There’s no question the\u00a0Charlemagne, Que.-born artist\u00a0is having a moment. She just became the new face of L’or\u00e9<\/span>al Paris, was the toast of Paris Fashion Week and has partnered with designers Nununu to create a gender-neutral clothing line for kids.<\/p>\n Known for hits such as\u00a0My Heart Will Go On<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Because You Loved Me<\/em>, Dion says the name of her upcoming\u00a0tour\u00a0\u2014 Courage\u00a0\u2014 reflects the ups and downs she’s faced since the death of her husband and manager,\u00a0Ren\u00e9<\/span>\u00a0Ang\u00e9lil<\/span>, three years ago.<\/p>\n “When I went back to singing it was hard, but I went,”\u00a0she said. “The children were magnificent. And I needed them as much as they needed me. And I see my husband through the eyes of my children every day.”<\/p>\n Now, after more than 15 years performing at Caesar’s Palace on the Vegas strip, Dion is winding down a successful residency that will end in June. Her world tour will kick off in Quebec City with Canadian stops in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Saskatoon and Winnipeg.<\/p>\n She says the set list for the tour\u00a0will include a mix of older favourites and new tracks, but there’s one she said she’s cutting ties with: a 1998 duet with R. Kelly called\u00a0I’m Your Angel<\/em>.<\/p>\n After Kelly was accused by several women of sexual misconduct, Dion pulled the song from streaming services. Kelly has since been\u00a0charged with 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse pertaining to four women.<\/p>\n “Any rights to the songs, I didn’t want to have anything to do with it,” said Dion. “The good thing about people talking now is, we hopefully make a better world. So it’s got to stop.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" C\u00e9line Dion is wrapping up her longtime residency in Las Vegas, but the pop icon says she’s heading into a “big” new chapter with a world tour starting in September. …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":24416,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3539],"tags":[3965,3553,6195,5377,222,6196,4636,4720,6198,6197,4627,4643],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mileniostadium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Celine-Rene.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mileniostadium.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32748"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mileniostadium.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mileniostadium.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mileniostadium.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mileniostadium.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mileniostadium.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32748\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mileniostadium.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24416"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mileniostadium.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mileniostadium.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mileniostadium.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
