Her RIAA Diamond Award albums "Falling Into You" and "Let's Talk About Love" have each sold over 30 million worldwide. She has five Grammys -- Best Pop Vocal Performance ("Beauty and the Beast"); Album of the Year & Best Pop Album ("Falling Into You"); Record of the Year & Best Female Pop Vocal Performance ("My Heart Will Go On") and two Best Song Oscars ("Beauty and the Beast" & "My Heart Will Go On"). Over 3 million people saw her in "A New Day" in Las Vegas, during its record-breaking five year run of sold-out shows. Following the Las Vegas engagement, Celine released her Taking Chances CD, which went top 5 in every major market around the world, and launched her first Worldwide Concert tour in over nine years. The tour has been playing to sold-out Stadiums and arenas since it debuted in South Africa on Valentines Day 2008, and once completed it will have crossed five continents, 24 countries, and 95 cities, enroute to playing for an audience of over 3 million people.Currently the tour is in full swing throughout North America, stopping in every major city in the US and Canada, playing to sold-out arenas every night. "This tour has been an incredible journey for me," says Celine. "First of all, it's given Rene and I a chance to travel the world with our 7-1/2 year old son, and as well, we've had my mother who is 81 years old traveling with us...so it's been a wonderful family experience, and I feel really privileged. At the same time, it's been so rewarding for me to reach out to my fans and perform many of the songs that they have supported me on for so many years. We do some new songs, of course, but we make sure to do the long-time favorites as well."
