Dion will resume her Las Vegas residency at Caesar’s Palace upon her husband’s request August 27. “We have asked (doctors) many times, how long does he have, three weeks, three months? But they say they don’t know”. “Sometimes he just wants me to enter into a different place with him”, she shared.

But he may not be able to make it to the debut of Dion’s new show, and she anticipates a “fragile” night. “There will be moments of emptiness, laughter, awkwardness, tearing up”, the singer continued to tell USA Today. “But that’s the point of coming back – otherwise, I just release an album”.
In spite of the massive heartache that comes with seeing the love of her life die, Dion is trying to power forward and return to the stage – she said it’s what Angelil wants of her. It’s unclear whether her husband will attend or watch from a live feed at their home.
Dion has paved the way for future acts, such as everyone from Elton John, to Mariah Carey and Britney Spears, but the “My Heart Will Go On” singer modestly doesn’t see it that way.
“We don’t know what the future holds”, the 47-year-old admitted to ET on Sunday, adding that Rene told her to be “back, strong, [to] do it, still share your passion”. “But he freaks when I’m not home with him, too”, she said.
Celine Dion opened up to USA Today this week about the emotional conversations she’s had with her husband, René Angélil, who’s been battling throat cancer.
“I didn’t want to be here at first, I don’t need it”, she admitted. “There’s a part of me that never really left the stage”.
