Celine Dion Leaves Vegas, Starts Tour

CBS Special To Air Friday

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― It's a new chapter for Celine Dion.

An hour-long CBS concert special, "Celine Dion: That the Woman in Me" debuts Friday. It comes on the heels of Dion's five-year stint in Las Vegas, the release of her first all-new English-language studio album in three years and the start of a world tour.

Dion told Associated Press Television News in a January interview that Las Vegas was "an amazing journey" and now it's time for other things.

On Thursday, Dion is scheduled to open her tour in Johannesburg, South Africa, following a promise she made to former President Nelson Mandela to perform there. Other destinations include Japan, China, Korea and the United Kingdom.
