Butterflies in Celine’s stomach

Celine Dion

Two months ago, the diva was forced to cancel several dates of her Las Vegas residency after undergoing a “minimally invasive surgical procedure” to correct an inner ear issue.

“It’s been a while since we did a show [where] I had a little health issue. I’m extremely happy to be back. The stage is my home away from home. And I have to admit I can barely stand on my feet tonight as I am a little nervous,” she was quoted as saying by People magazine, during her comeback show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Despite being one of the most successful vocalists of all time, Celine admitted that she isn’t immune to that niggling sense of uncertainty.

“You wonder, will the people still come? Are they gonna say, ‘What if she cancels tonight?’ I don’t take anything for granted,” she said. —ALLAN POLICARPIO
