Adele's tribute to a legendary actress culminated in a heartfelt hug with her idol

In an unforgettable night at her Las Vegas residency, Adele shared a touching moment with none other than acting legend Meryl Streep. At The Colosseum in Caesars Palace, Adele, dressed as Streep's iconic Death Becomes Her character Madeline Ashton, bowed in reverence to the Oscar-winning actress before sharing a warm hug mid-performance.

"Hello! Oh wow, what a f****** honour. I love you," Adele exclaimed, visibly moved as she continued singing her emotional hit, When We Were Young. Adele wore the iconic costume as part of her personal Halloween celebration with her fans in Las Vegas.

But Streep wasn't the only legend Adele paid tribute to over the weekend. C?line Dion, an icon Adele has adored for years, made a surprise appearance, and the emotional English singer couldn't hold back her tears.

The Rolling in the Deep songstress later revealed just how special Dion's attendance was, calling it a "full-circle moment." She even shared on Instagram that she keeps a photo of Dion next to the stage and touches it before every performance as a personal homage.

C?line's surprise visit felt like destiny to Adele, who has been performing her Weekends With Adele residency at The Colosseum since 2022, a venue that holds special significance as it was built for Dion's first Las Vegas residency in 2003.

After the heartfelt on-stage encounter, Adele told the audience, "Give it up for Ms. C?line Dion," as the superstar wiped away tears, waving to the crowd. Adele went on to describe Dion as "one of my favorite people of all time," a sentiment she has often shared over the years.

Celine is a source of inspiration for Adele

Dion, battling stiff person syndrome (SPS), a rare autoimmune neurological disorder, recently made a triumphant return to the stage at the Paris Olympics ceremony, even as her health challenges continue.

Her journey has been inspiring to fans and peers alike, and Adele's tribute during this Vegas show became a celebration of resilience, friendship, and mutual admiration between two iconic voices.

As Weekends With Adele nears its November conclusion, these emotional nights have only deepened the bond between Adele and her fans-and now, her idols.
