Céline Dion showed her love for heavy metal during Metallica’s Life Burns Faster residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas, enjoying the concerts before meeting the band backstage.

The singer attended the November 5 and November 7 performances, with videos from the shows capturing her playing air guitar, headbanging, and singing along. Actor Jack Black was also spotted enjoying the November 7 concert alongside Dion.

Following the performances, Dion shared backstage photos on Instagram featuring Metallica members James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo. Her twin sons, Eddy and Nelson, also appeared in the pictures.

Dion expressed her appreciation for the band and thanked the musicians for their warm welcome.

The appearance offered another glimpse of Dion enjoying live music as she continues making public appearances following her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis.

Known worldwide for her powerful ballads and pop hits, Dion has also demonstrated an appreciation for music outside her usual genre.

Metallica’s Las Vegas residency has brought the band’s music to the Sphere’s immersive concert setting, with additional performances scheduled for January 2027.
