“I’m supposed to know what to say,” Dion told the audience. “I am very excited and I am a little bit emotional at the same time. This is our final show in this beautiful Colosseum in Las Vegas. There are lots of wonderful memories, you know, but it’s kind of strange at the same time, because when they started to put it together, I was here and it was like, ‘I don’t know.’

“Then I must have misunderstood something,” she continued, “because I thought I was going to be here for three months or something like this, and here we are 16 years later. Maybe we have saved the best for last.”

According to CBC, Dion will return to Quebec for the summer, before embarking on a world tour in the fall, to debut her next album Courage, due to be released in September.
