LAS VEGAS — This is a case of honoring Dion but not Celine.
Famed ’60s singer Dion DiMucci of Dion and the Belmonts made the Rolling Stones’ list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time. He’s at No. 154. Remarkable, as the Dion we would also expect on that list — Celine — was left off entirely.
The omission has created rampant hullabaloo among Celine Dion’s fans, though not from Dion herself. Requests for comment from her camp have been shrugged off. At this point, she’s not commenting and is apparently not concerned. The superstar is battling Stiff Person Syndrome, which has prevented her from returning to the stage. Her return to performance, at Resorts World Theatre, is still on hold.
