"I Feel His Love in This Room"Céline Dion Returns to Las Vegas Stage to Honor Late Husband René Angélil

Just three weeks after René Angélil passed away after a long battle with cancer, Céline Dion has returned to The Colosseum stage at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas to pay an emotional tribute to her beloved husband.

“This is my home away from home. At the same time I’m supposed to feel extremely comfortable being home and right now I’m not sure how comfortable I feel,” the 47-year-old singer told the audience on Wednesday, Feb. 3 while holding back tears.

“I feel [René’s] love in this room. I feel his strength and his warmth being reflected in all of you. René always surrounded me with the best people who believed in us and always worked so hard on our behalf,” she added.
