nice to know:
-
During the concert
Céline was surrounded by some ten musicians and assisted by a choir.
-
About fifty persons
have travelled along with Céline from concert to concert, under
whom her brother Michel.
-
On the day of the
concert itself roughly thousand people were very busy trying to keep everything
under control.
-
Céline arrived
in Brussels by limousine and afterwards she left with her private jet to
Copenhagen for her next concert.
-
To shelter the
domain of the stadium they called upon a special panelling that was brought
over from the United States.
