Céline Dion concert chronology

Let's Talk About Love Tour is the eighth concert tour by Canadian pop singer, Céline Dion.

About the show

Céline Dion performed three virtual duets with artists displayed on the video screen: "Tell Him" (with Barbra Streisand), "Immortality" (with the Bee Gees) and "Treat Her Like a Lady" (with Diana King). Guest appearances included Jean-Jacques Goldman on "J'irai où tu iras" and Taro Hakase (violin) on "To Love You More" (this role was also played by two other people: Roddy Chiong (from Shania Twain's band) appeared during a few of Dion's early 1999 shows and the musician Mark Wood appeared with her in a couple of her late 1998 shows. Other shows featured no musician on stage and footage of Taro Hakase was shown on the big screen instead). Barnev Valsaint (backup singer) was joining Céline Dion on "I'm Your Angel." Diana King performed "Treat Her Like a Lady" with Dion live on stage on October 2 1998 in Orlando, Florida.The Bee Gees performed "Immortality" with Dion on October 3 1998 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Many shows after March 1999 that were originally announced, were cancelled due to René Angélil's sickness, Dion's husband and manager. Some of them were postponed until later in the year but those that were cancelled completely included Dublin, Birmingham, Frankfurt, Gothumberg, Vienna, Barcelona, Marseille, Lyon, Cologne and Lisbon.

Céline Dion gave her final public performance before going on hiatus during the "Millennium Concert" at the Molson Centre, Montreal, Canada, on December 31 1999. She also did a private concert in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, on January 1 2000, open only to family and selected industry professionals.
