In light of Jennifer Lopez and Incubus postponing their Las Vegas residencies, GRAMMY winner Celine Dion made the decision that her show must go on following the tragic shooting in Las Vegas at the Route 91 Harvest Festival on Oct. 1.

Dion, who has been performing a Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace since 2012, opened her Oct. 3 show with a heartfelt speech about her uncertainty of performing so soon after the shooting, before assuring herself and the audience they had "made the right choice in being here tonight."

"On Sunday, we lost too many beautiful, innocent souls, and so many are still suffering," Dion told her audience. "But tonight we're going to let these families know that we are supporting them and that we will help them through their tragic loss."

She offered a dedication to the victims of the massacre and revealed that all the proceeds from her Oct. 3 show would be donated to the Las Vegas victims' families on behalf of the audience.

"We dedicate tonight's show to all the victims and their families, and to the first responders, and to the doctors and nurses who are working around the clock to save lives," Dion said. "And to so many heroes who did whatever they could to help complete strangers in a time of desperate needs."

On Oct. 1, country singer/songwriter Jason Aldean was performing his song "When She Says Baby" at the Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest Festival when shots were fired into the crowd, resulting in at least 58 deaths and more than 500 injuries. Fortunately, Aldean and his crew were not injured.

After an initial post expressing his sadness, thoughts and prayers for the victims, Aldean has now penned a longer letter that touches on his fear at the current state of the world, the need for people to come together and his continued thoughts and prayers for the victims of the largest mass shooting in U.S. history. 

Over the last 24 hrs I have gone through lots of emotions. Fear, Anger, Heartache, Compassion and many others. I truely dont understand why a person would want to take the life of another. Something has changed in this country and in this world lately that is scary to see. This world is becoming the kind of place i am afraid to raise my children in. At the end of the day we arent Democrats or Republicans, Whites or Blacks, Men or Women. We are all humans and we are all Americans and its time to start acting like it and stand together as ONE! That is the only way we will ever get this Country to be better than it has ever been, but we have a long way to go and we have to start now. My heart aches for the Victims and their families of this Senseless act. I am so sorry for the hurt and pain everyone is feeling right now and there are no words i can say to to take that pain away. Just know u all are in my heart and my prayers as we all go through this together. Time to come together and stop the hate!  #stopthehate #prayforlasvegas

Following the deadly mass shooting on Oct. 1 in Las Vegas during the Route 91 Harvest Festival that left at least 58 people dead and more than 500 injured, artists have renewed the call for stricter gun control laws.

Artists including Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Moby, and the Chainsmokers have taken to social media to both offer support for the victims and Las Vegas as well as call on legislators to take action to help prevent mass shootings from happening.

To everyone around the world and our Las Vegas family...

John Mayer also expressed his views in a lengthy series of tweets.

"If you're not at least trying to fix this, you're effectively telling the country in your (in)actions that this somehow acceptable," he tweeted. "There's two moralities: morality identity and morality-in-action. Our greater moral identity doesn’t match our actions so far."
