RonJonSurfer Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Celine and Elton Team Up for Hurricane Victims The two singers raised $2.1 million for casino workers living in the Gulf Coast. Superstars Celine Dion and Elton John performed a series of duets on Monday to raise money for victims of last year's hurricane disasters. The Canadian singer, 37, and flamboyant Brit, 58, appeared at a benefit at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada, with $2.1 million going to employees of Harrah's Entertainment Inc chain of casinos, who were affected by Hurricane Katrina and Rita last summer. Dion and Elton, who both have their own shows in Sin City, sang "Sorry" and "Saturday Night" together. Elton enthuses, "I've played in Biloxi (Mississippi) many times. I'm just glad we can do a little something for those people's lives that will never be the same again for many, many years. God bless them."
