Celine Dion air-guitars with Jack Black at Metallica Vegas gig

Celine Dion traded her soaring ballads for air guitar, rocking out alongside Jack Black at a Metallica concert in Las Vegas. The Daily Mail reported that the 58-year-old singer was spotted enjoying the heavy metal gig at the Sphere on Saturday ^[2].

Dion, dressed in a chic khaki blouse and black trousers, was seen mimicking playing a guitar while watching the band perform their classic hit Enter Sandman. She was positioned between her twin sons, Eddy and Nelson, both aged 16. While Eddy enthusiastically sang along, Nelson took a more subdued approach, nodding along with his hands tucked into his pockets ^[2].

Jack Black, 57, was equally exuberant. The Tenacious D frontman, a known metalhead, was captured headbanging, cheering and dancing passionately. TMZ noted that Black was seen belting out lyrics while boogieing down during the performance ^[1].

The duo were later seen side by side, clapping over their heads during a guitar solo. Dion shared the experience on Instagram, posting a photo of herself, her boys and Black making rock signs. She captioned the post: "Metallica night 2 was rocked," thanking the band members for the warm welcome ^[2].

Fans took to social media to express their delight. Comments ranged from "Celine Dion likes Metallica?" to "My life is complete." The spectacle has become a regular feature of Metallica's Life Burns Faster residency. Dion was also spotted rocking out to the band just days prior, where she watched bassist Robert Trujillo jam with guitarist Kirk Hammett ^[1].

Dion’s affinity for the genre might surprise some, but according to the Daily Mail, she previously revealed that her son Eddy is a massive Metallica fan, though this specific reason for her attendance has not been confirmed by other outlets. She even listed the band's 1996 track Until It Sleeps among her favourite songs earlier this year ^[2].

The residency, which kicked off in October, runs until March 2027. The group, featuring James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo, continues to draw high-profile guests to their Vegas home.
