Céline Dion was back at the Sphere in Las Vegas on November 7 for Metallica’s final performance of 2026. And she’s apparently developed a taste for air bass, once again having fun channeling Robert Trujillo. This time, Jack Black was also there, just a few seats away.
Céline Dion and Jack Black rock out at Metallica’s concert
Metallica wrapped up the 2026 leg of their residency Life Burns Faster to a packed house last Saturday. Among those in attendance were Céline Dion, seated in a private box, and Jack Black, the actor and musician best known for his rock duo Tenacious D.
Videos posted on social media show the Quebec singer playing air bass during the show, while Jack Black, seated nearby, moves to the music. Given his enthusiasm for rock and metal, that’s hardly surprising.
For anyone who missed the first installment, Céline Dion had already been filmed imitating Robert Trujillo on bass during the November 5 show. That evening, she was joined by Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, among others.
Céline Dion is no stranger to hard rock. In 2007, she said she listened to Thunderstruck by AC/DC during her soundchecks. She also performed You Shook Me All Night Long with Anastacia in 2002. Her appearance at a Metallica show is therefore less unlikely than you might think.
Metallica will resume their residency in January 2027
As for Metallica, the band have now wrapped up their 2026 shows at the Sphere. They will return to Las Vegas on January 28, 2027, for another run of twelve dates.
The upcoming performances are scheduled for January 28 and 30, February 4, 6, 18, 20, 25 and 27, and March 4, 6, 11 and 13.
