Celine Dion is going on,
despite her husband’s health. Rene Angelil has been battling throat
cancer and his fight is coming to an end as Rene spends his final days
watching Celine’s Vegas show. After taking a hiatus from the stage of
the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Dion returned to wow fans with a show
that has been tweaked and dedicated to her ailing husband.
Most recently, Celine talked about her
decision to return to the stage even though she wasn’t sure if she could
do it. Dion told her audience, “My three children and my wonderful
husband wanted me to be here because I’m not quite sure if I was ready
to be here.” While Rene was due to join her at Caesars Palace, his
medical team deemed him too weak. Instead, Angelil watches a special
live feed. He can hear Celine’s messages to her supportive fans and lets
them know he is there and has her focus saying, “He’s passing along his
strength to me. We have talked about things. I’m being heard many
times, through my interviews, through my songs. It’s time for him to be
heard. This is his time and it’s going to be the way he wants it to be.”
The show includes images of her private
family photos. Images of Celine, Rene, and their children play out as
she sings “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.” Her legions of fans
cheer as Angelil’s face flashes across the screen. However sad it seems,
Dion is trying to convey an immeasurable strength not just for her
family, but for her future. “I’m trying to stay as grounded as
possible,” Dion confessed. “I want to show my (three) children that
sickness is part of life, and I have their backs. We got this. We’re
doing this. It’s OK. And you cannot be crying and depressed and
constantly talk about, ‘Oh my God,’ you know?”
