Celine Dion : Meet & Greet + Selfie European Summer Tour 2017

Celine Dion & Hans Lambrechts 

Life is full of surprises! 

In 2011 I was at the opening of Céline Dion's most recent show in Las Vegas. Before the concert her manager and (late) husband René Angélil, shared his excitement and happiness with the international press and fans who had already gathered at the entrance of The Colosseum at Caesars Palace hours before the start of the show. 

Seconds before René Angélil left and disappeared behind the doors of a private elevator that would bring him back up to their private suite at Caesars Palace, he showed a 'thumbs up' indicating "Tout va être correct", a small phrase he used a lot to assure everything was going to be ok and to express his lifelong engagement and loyalty.

As a photographer I am continuously looking for this kind of spontaneous moments, so just in time, I clicked my Canon 5D and took the shot... On January 15 last year, the day after René Angélil passed away, I posted a black and white edit of this photo on my Instagram account (@hanslambrechts) with the words 'Merci #René'. About a month ago, I was amazed but so very honored to find René's picture by me in Céline's official tour book. But even more was I surprised when we got invited to share this amazing story, backstage, in person with Céline Dion herself!

Thank you so much @miadumont for picking up my Instagram post and proposing it. It's a thrill knowing this photo has been chosen by Céline as a full page coverage inside her 2017 Europe tour program.

A photo I took in Vegas almost 6 years ago, an Instagram post with a simple hashtag from last year and there we were, in Paris, next to the incomparable @celinedion who I have been following and looking up to for nearly 25 years, ready to hit the stage at the AccorHotels Arena. "Thank you for your beautiful picture, Hans. This really means a lot to me', accompanied with three kisses! A dream come true.

Merci Céline, merci à l'équipe de nous avoir offert ce rendez-vous, merci Instagram. Merci la vie!

A wonderful example of the power of social media, persistence and #thepoweroflove. #celinedion #celinedionlive2017 (Meet & greet photo by @denisetruscello ) @tvanouvelles Montreal Gazette

Law Roach says Celine Dion has ‘no fear’ when it comes to fashion

Celine Dion's stylist pal Law Roach is convinced he has the best job in fashion because he gets to spend hours with the singer making her look like a style queen. The in-demand ‘image architect’ has turned Celine into a style diva of late and he admits it's always a pleasure getting the singer red carpet ready for big events.

"I think I'm really inspired by her...," he told Page Six at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. "Celine has no fear and she's really a fashion girl, and when you have the opportunity to work with someone with no fear... I can literally bring her anything and she'll, like, try it on and we play in clothes.

"We literally have five or six-hour fittings and just play or laugh or talk fashion."

Shania Twain wants to sing with Celine Dion

Country superstar Shania Twain would jump at the opportunity to record a duet with her fellow Canadian Celine Dion.

The You’re Still the One hitmaker is feeling reinvigorated as she prepares to release Now, her first album since 2002’s Up!, on Sept. 29, and when asked if she would be interested in a potential double-act with Dion, Twain makes it clear she is all in.

“Hell yes,” she exclaims to The Cut. “Oh, I’d love to do that.”

“I actually use her (Dion) as my warm-up music a lot of the time,” she shares. “She’s got such a high range. I Drove All Night (by Dion) is my favourite one to do my vocal warm-ups to, because it has the higher harmony, which is really hard.”

Celine Dion hints she’ll release her new English album next fall

Get ready for more Celine Dion! While she has been making headlines as of late for her fashion choices, the Canadian icon is first and foremost a singer. The studio is calling her name and according to Celine, she is ready to get back in the booth to make her first English album since 2013’s Loved Me Back to Life.

“My next big project for the fall will be recording my new English album. I’m very, very excited. That’s going to be released in 2018, probably during the fall, could be sooner, I hope! I don’t know, but I can’t wait,” revealed the 49-year-old at the launch of her new handbag collection in Montreal on Aug 23.2017

The mother of three is also enjoying some down time before she has to go back to work. After an incredible Eurotour (which garnered her a fashion icon title) this past summer, the mother of three is taking a well-deserved break to spend time with her family in her home province of Québec, she shared, “We’re having a good time, we’re going outside. It’s so wonderful to be home, and in September we’ll go back to Las Vegas,” she continued, “My show at [Caesar’s Palace] starts up again on September 19, so we’ll freshen up a few things here and there.”

At the handbag launch, Celine continued her sartorial streak on home soil, looking sharp and sophisticated in a stunning coral Lanvin dress with a pink scarf. She greeted her adoring fans before heading inside the store to give a spirited interview with members of the media.

Celine’s goal was to create a line of bags that are functional for the everyday woman. The singer shared, “Handbags and accessories are a big part of the statement you make, whether you’re going to work, going to dinner, going out on the town, so I really wanted to be involved in creating a collection that would be bold, feminine, sophisticated, and one that would address the needs of working women and moms, like me.”

Unsurprisingly, this fashion icon and musical powerhouse is super involved in the design and production of her handbag collection with Bugatti Group. The “My Heart Will Go On” singer spoke proudly about her designs, saying, “I am very involved, actually. It starts, for example, by them showing me inspiration boards for the collection and we discuss back and forth,” she said, continuing, “Then they’ll create samples of each piece for me to review. I touch and feel the things and, from that point, they’ll tweak the product and then it’s off to production.”

Celine Dion For CHU Sainte-Justine Montreal August 24,2017

CHU SAINTE-JUSTINE

Thursday, August 24 2017

PRESS RELEASE

Céline Dion visits CHU Sainte-Justine!

MONTRÉAL, August 24, 2017 – Patients and staff at CHU Sainte-Justine were delighted to receive a very special guest today: singer Céline Dion!

As a lifetime patron of CHU Sainte-Justine, Céline Dion was involved in two major fundraising campaigns for the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation: “Growing Up Healthy” in 2002 and “Healing More, Healing Better,” which is still under way. The money raised was used to build the Research Centre and the Specialized Units Building, which Céline Dion got to visit today for the very first time. Patients, their families and staff from the intensive care, neonatal and paediatric surgery units welcomed her with open arms and gave her a tour of these new facilities, where care innovation and humanization are in perfect harmony. Céline Dion got to meet five-year-old Maélie, who has been living with a Berlin heart for the last five months as she waits for a heart transplant; three-week-old twins Stella and Naomie, who were born at 33 weeks; one-week-old Olivia, who was born at 24 weeks; and 11-year-old Malik, who is suffering from a mutation in the MUNC gene and malabsorption, a rare condition of the digestive system.

“Nobody really wants to come to the hospital, but if we are face with an unexpected adversity, there’s no better place to be than Sainte-Justine”, said Céline Dion.

“We take great pride in having Céline Dion as our lifetime patron. Her outstanding generosity touches everyone in the Sainte-Justine extended family. Through her role and desire to see more children heal better, she is an inspiration to all of our teams to go the extra mile,” said Maud Cohen, President and Chief Executive Officer of the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation. “She contributes to the achievement of our constant and complete mission to excel and innovate in order to transform our patients' lives,” she concluded, thanking Céline Dion for her presence and her honourable engagement to CHU Sainte-Justine.

“We were very pleased to welcome Céline Dion, who embodies the very essence of our establishment, “the house of life,” where humanity and innovation are at the service of mothers and children in Québec,” said Dr. Fabrice Brunet, President and Chief Executive Officer of CHU Sainte-Justine.

René Angélil was also a lifetime patron. As such, the couple wanted to spread hope to mothers and children in Québec. Céline Dion is committed to continuing with this mission.
