Hair-raising: Celine Dion takes to the stage with furry legs

Her face had been carefully made up, nails polished and outfit primped just so, but Celine Dion forgot one important thing before performing in Toyko over the weekend.

It appeared the My Heart Will Go On singer had forgotten to wax her legs, with severe back lighting revealing their rather hairy state as she strutted around the stage.

But despite the grooming oversight, she succeeded in wowing the crowd with a typically dazzling performance.

The French Canadian star recently started out on an extensive world tour after wrapping her five-year stint at the Caesars Palace, Las Vegas in December.

During her time in Vegas, her show A New Day, which opened in March 2003, grossed more than £200million.

But the star, who turns 40 later this month, hasn't tired of performing, and hit the road again with her husband Rene Angelil, and her 7-year-old son, Rene Charles, in tow.

It follows the November release of her latest album Taking Chances.

Celine, whose tour kicked off on Valentine's Day in South Africa, will play two more nights in Japan before moving on to China.
