Celine Dion pays tribute to Ariana Grande and Manchester at Las Vegas gig

Celine Dion showed her support for Ariana Grande and the people of Manchester, England at a concert in Las Vegas on Tuesday night (23May17).

The Canadian singer, who is scheduled to perform at the Manchester Arena where a bomb blast killed 22 people as they left Grande's concert on Monday night, paid a special tribute to the victims of the terror attack and their families during her show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

"Come on, everybody, stand up, and you know what, raise your hands and join them to the person on either side of you, please," Dion told fans during the concert. "Let's stand up for Manchester and show them that we care. We're filming this and we're going to send it across the ocean to those beautiful souls, so let's do that.

"They will be seeing you, they're going to feel your love."

Celine will perform in Manchester next month (25Jun17).

Meanwhile, devastated Grande has put her European tour on hold as she attempts to come to terms with the tragedy.
