British superstar Adele burst into tears after watching Celine Dion perform in concert in Las Vegas.

The two singers then shared an emotional embrace at the Colosseum Theater at Caesars Palace, a venue originally built for Dion's debut residency in 2003.

“It really felt like she was proudly handing the keys to Adele,” Nasser, who was in the audience and filmed the moment on his phone, told BBC News.

“And when Adele hugged her, everyone felt what he was feeling.”
