Celine Dion Rocks Out at Metallica’s Sphere Residency With Jack Black

Metallica’s “Life Burns Faster” residency at the Sphere is arguably the biggest show in Las Vegas right now, a spectacle so big and loud that even world-renowned vocalist Céline Dion couldn’t help but see multiple times.

Over the past week, Dion has popped at the Sphere twice. The first time was Nov. 5, when a fan captured an incredible video of Dion enthusiastically slapping on an air bass during guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo’s regular “Kirk and Rob Doodle” jam. 

Good as that clip was, Dion managed to top it at the Life Burns Faster show on Saturday, Nov. 7. This time around, she was seen air drumming and dancing, while two seats away Jack Black was headbanging as if his life depended on it. Dion shared a few photos of her own from the show on social media, including Instagram Stories post featuring herself, her two sons, Eddy and Nelson Angélil, and Black, all throwing up devil horns. “Metallica night 2 was rocked,” Dion wrote in the caption.

She also shared some backstage shots of her and her sons with the members of Metallica, though the best pics in the carousel were of Dion and Trujillo making over-the-top bass faces for the camera.

“Thank you James, Lars, Kirk and Robert and everyone from the @Metallica organization for the warm welcome!” Dion wrote. “We had such a wonderful time seeing you at the Sphere. We absolutely loved the show.” 

Earlier this year, Dion shared her love for Metallica when she included the band’s 1996 song, “Until It Sleeps” on her personal playlist. “Eddy, one of my twins, his favorite band is Metallica,” she said in a social media video accompanying the playlist.

Dion recently wrapped a residency of her own, completing a 16-show run at the Plenitude Arena in Paris back in October. The concerts notably marked Dion’s first time on stage since 2020 after being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome in 2022. Dion will do another run of shows at the Plenitude Arena in May.
