LAS VEGAS, Nevada As reported by the Sun Herald: "Celine Dion and Elton John sang together for the first time Monday night at a benefit to raise money for Harrah's Entertainment Inc. workers affected by last year's hurricanes.
"The pair, who sang duets of 'Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word' and 'Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting' before a packed Colosseum at Caesars Palace, were joined by Jerry Seinfeld to raise $2.1 million for some 8,000 casino workers in the Gulf Coast region.
"...'I've played in Biloxi many times,' John said. '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.'..."
