Céline Dion makes first Mideast stop in Dubai

Céline Dion will perform in Dubai– her first ever Middle Eastern performance – as part of her worldwide ‘Taking Chances’ tour. “She is very excited to be bringing her show to a place she has never been to before." Dion – the biggest-selling female artist of all time with 175 million records sold worldwide – will perform at the new Four Seasons Golf Club at Dubai's Festival City.

From humble beginnings in rural French Canada, Dion rose to international superstardom and recently ranked third – after Madonna and Barbra Streisand – in the Forbes.com list of Cash Queens of Music with 12-month earnings of $45 million. Dion's international breakthrough came when she recorded the title track for the soundtrack to Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast, picking up an Academy Award and a Grammy Award.
