Celine Dion concert chronology

The D'eux Tour was the sixth concert tour by Celine Dion. The tour was organized to support the highly successful tenth French language and thirteenth studio album D'eux (1995).[1][2]

History

After 5 concerts in Quebec City, Canada, Celine toured Europe for four months. Dion crossed 11 countries and gave 42 sold-out concerts, among which 9 in Paris, France, most in rooms of at least 14,000 seats. One of the opening acts was made by the group The Corrs (in the United Kingdom and Ireland). During one of the spectacles at the Zenith de Paris Celine broke her voice.[3][4]
