Celine Dion to End Las Vegas Concert Residency Next Year

by Associated Press

   LAS VEGAS --

   Celine Dion has announced she will end her Las Vegas residency next
   year.

   The singer announced on social media Monday that she will leave Caesars
   Palace in June 2019.

   Dion says the decision brings mixed emotions as the Colosseum venue has
   been a big part of her life for the past 20 years.

   This will mark the end of her second long-running residency at Caesars
   Palace.

   Dion has performed nearly 1,100 shows there since 2003. The first time
   was from 2003 until 2007. Her current residency began in 2011.

   Tickets for next year's shows go on sale Tuesday.

   Her final concert will be June 8, 2019.
