## Summary

Céline Dion attended Metallica’s “Life Burns Faster” residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas twice in one week, joining the crowd in air-playing and dancing. Her visits drew attention because the singer is a prominent Metallica fan, and she shared her enthusiasm alongside actor Jack Black.

Dion was first seen air-playing bass during Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo’s “Kirk and Rob Doodle” jam on 5 November, then air-drumming at the 7 November show, where Black was also dancing and headbanging. She attended with her sons Eddy and Nelson, met the band backstage and thanked its members for their welcome. Dion has previously named Metallica’s “Until It Sleeps” as a favourite; she recently completed 16 Paris shows, her first concerts since 2020, after being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome in 2022.
