In December, the chanteuse wrapped her five-year residency at Las Vegas' Colosseum at Caesars Palace. More than 3 million fans flocked to Dion's "A New Day" production, which logged 723 sold-out performances, according to a press release.
On tour, the five-time Grammy winner will sing her biggest hits and showcase material from her new album, "Taking Chances," which surfaced in November and shot to No. 3 on The Billboard 200. The set, her first English-language offering in three years, has Dion collaborating with artists including former Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody, Linda Perry and Ne-Yo.
Dion also recently released the DVD version of "A New Day," which chronicles the entire 90-minute performance and includes more than three hours of bonus material in the form of three documentaries. "A New Day: Live in Las Vegas" made history in Canada as the only music DVD to be certified triple diamond for sales topping 300,000, according to a press release.
Dion has sold more than 180 million records worldwide and received numerous awards, her latest one being the World Music Awards' Legend honor.
