Céline Dion is ready to return to the Las Vegas stage for a very special reason.
E!
News has learned the singer will appear at The Colosseum inside Las
Vegas' Caesars Palace Wednesday evening for a celebration of life
service honoring husband René Angélil.
While
details remain tight-lip, we can confirm Celine has no plans to talk or
perform during the ceremony. Instead, guests will honor the proud
husband and father who died on Jan. 14 after battling cancer.
"My
family and I are deeply touched by the outpouring of love and support
from so many people who have touched our lives during these past few
days," read a letter posted on Celine's website
after his death. "We have felt your love for René, and your prayers and
compassion have helped us during this most difficult time... more than
you'll ever know. I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Celine and her children honored René on Jan. 22 with a funeral where the couple's son René-Charles delivered a touching speech to attendees.
"Fifteen
years is not a long time for a son to get to know his father," he told
the crowd. "You left me now with enough good memories of you to share
with my younger brothers. As they grow older without you being around,
I'll make sure to pass on what I've learned from you."
He added,
"You are a tough act to follow but with our help everything is going to
be fine. Dad, I promise you here that we're all going to live up to your
standards."
