Céline Dion head bangs with Jack Black at Metallica concert in the Sphere

Who knew Céline Dion was a secret metalhead? The 58-year-old singer and her 16-year-old twin sons, Eddy and Nelson, rocked out alongside actor Jack Black at Metallica’s concert at Sphere in Las Vegas on Nov. 7. A fan video that went viral showed Dion dancing and playing air guitar as the legendary heavy metal band performed on stage. Just a few feet away, Black vigorously nodded his head and pointed his fingers in the air in time with the music. Wes Zirkle, who shot the video, attended the concert with his college best friend Ben to celebrate their 51st birthdays. The pair weren’t too shocked to see Black thrashing in the stands, but Dion? “I was really surprised to see Céline Dion like really, really into this concert,” Zirkle tells TODAY.com. The fan reaction to his video showing the unlikely duo sharing a love of Metallica has been “a lot of fun,” Zirkle adds. One fan commented, “I was so focused on Jack Black I totally almost missed Celine Dion. A sentence I never thought I’d say.” “The next duet we need,” another joked. Dion, whose public outings were limited in recent years after she was diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome diagnosis, is on temporary break from her triumphant record-breaking comeback Paris residency. The concerts resume in May 2027. Dion shared images from the Metallica show, which showed her posing with Metallica members James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Rob Trujillo. “Thank you James, Lars, Kirk and Robert and everyone from the @Metallica organization for the warm welcome! We had such a wonderful time seeing you at the Sphere. We absolutely loved the show,” she wrote, adding a devil horn hand gesture emoji. Metallica responded in the comments by posting three black hearts. Dion also shared a cute pic of her and her sons posing with Black at the concert. The multi-Grammy winner revealed her love for Metallica in February when she named a few musical acts on her most current playlist in an Instagram video. After the “My Heart Will Go On” singer shared that Metallica was her son Eddy’s “favorite” band, she did a hilarious imitation of Hetfield scream-singing his ferocious lyrics. Metallica’s initial series of dates for its “Life Burns Faster” residency at Sphere ran from Oct. 1 through Nov. 7. The band’s residency resumes in January 2027 and wraps in March 2027.
