Fellow Caesars Palace headliners Rod Stewart and Elton John are the first two stars to help fill the dates left open as a result of Celine Dion’s decision to cancel her concerts until March 2014 to care for her husband Rene Angelil in his battle against throat cancer.

Rod has agreed to add a string of dates to even his yet-unannounced dates in a new two-year renewal of his Colosseum show at Caesars. Elton also agreed to perform additional dates in his contract, which is now extended into next year.

In 2015, both men will pick up some of the slack also left open with Shania Twain’s completion of her contract there in December. Still unknown as of this writing is which superstar will perform over New Year’s.

The Las Vegas Sun reports that negotiations are underway with a now narrowed-down list of possible stars, and a hoped-for announcement will be forthcoming in the next two weeks.
