According to gaming website SlotsUp, the singer's two Vegas residencies saw her earn more than stars including Elton John and Cher. Her A New Day show, which ran for over four years from 2003 made a staggering £317.1M ($385M) at the box office, while her Celine show, which began in 2011 and ended eight years later, made £243.8M ($296M).
Having missed over two years' worth of shows, it's likely that Celine lost out on over £60million ($70.6) of revenue, based on her earnings for her Celine show.
