Kindness is in short supply these days… but not if you’re drunk at a Celine Dion concert.
During a recent performance, the diva was accosted by a fan who proceeded to dry-hump her. Did she immediately cry “Seize her!”? Have security escort her off the premises? No.

Instead, she helped her offstage herself. (The concertgoer in question was visibly drunk and told Dion her son had just undergone bone marrow surgery.)
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The concertgoer who filmed the scene had this to say:
“During last night’s Céline Dion show in Las Vegas, Céline brought a woman on stage, not knowing the woman was drunk and had some issues: her son just had a bone marrow transplant and she wanted to tell everyone to be a donor. The woman proceeded to hug Céline tightly, but also began to hump her. A class act like Céline is, she didn’t let her security drag the woman off from the stage, but instead tried to comfort her and helped the woman off stage herself. THIS is why Céline Dion is an absolutely angel. She sees the best in people and wants to help wherever and whoever she can.”

I saw something very similar at a Diane Ross concert in Paris. She came from the back of the house, walking down a side aisle, singing. A young guy jumped out into aisle and tried to kiss her. She bit down on his lip and shoved him backward barely breaking her stride and not missing a note of the song. When she reached the onstage mike she stopped the music and apologized, saying she hoped he hadn’t hurt him and that she loved him too.
Winning “The Voice” or “American Idol” doesn’t prepare you for this kind of thing. Owning the stage like that takes years of performing live. As an old performer myself it thrilled me to see how she handled it without missing a beat.
Ella Fitzgerald (also in Paris) stopped her first song when a couple service men came in late, saying something like “we’ll wait for my boys.”

She was so understanding and professional.
Such a beautiful soul.
Love Céline Dion.
