That's so sad, her husband and now her brother so close to each others. :(

I can tell from the way she performs alone that she has the heart of a warrior. Still, losing the love of her life and her brother so close together must be hard. Prayers for her and her family.

Celine showed some much grace and dignity during all these years during Rene's illness, it only made me respect her more as a person. I think people forget she is still a 'young' woman at 47 - it's going to be quite an adjustment after having Rene there since she was barely a teen. I wish her the best.

I don't know how she did it. During my mom's memorial I was a wreck. I closed myself off, slept in my room, and just cried for days.

I love her even more after that clip. She's always seemed a genuine, down to earth, good person. God bless her

Opened with "With One More Look at You"/"Watch Me Closely." She then spoke some, and then went into "Where Does My Heart Beat Now."

It was great. Loved seeing her perform WDMHBN again too. You could tell she is weary, but her spunk and her will to carry on is definitely still there. Love her.

WDMHBN is THE celine song for me (despite many others I love). The first time ever I heard her sing. Massive.
*warm fuzzies* RIP Rene.

I totally missed her return a couple of weeks ago. I just watched some clips on YT and was stunned by some of the negative comments about her returning to the stage. Just sad that people can be that way. She's an amazing person and I believe we've really learned a lot about Celine during the past few years with the way she stood by RA. I always believed she was a pretty genuine down-to-earth person, but, as we know, celebrity personas can be deceiving. Clearly with her, it's real. I'm looking forward to new music from her.

Celine Dion to Receive ICON Award & Perform at 2016 Billboard Music Awards
Celine Dion will receive the ICON Award at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards, where she will also take the stage for a performance of Queen's "The Show Must Go On."
The legendary singer won't have to travel too far from her Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace to pick up the honor and perform at the T-Mobile Arena just down the Las Vegas Strip. Past winners of the ICON lifetime-achievement award include Jennifer Lopez in 2014, Prince in 2013, Stevie Wonder in 2012 and Neil Diamond in 2011.
"Celine Dion has a huge repertoire of monster hits and she personally chose to perform 'The Show Must Go On' as her ICON performance on the Billboard Music Awards," said Marc Bracco, the show's executive producer. "I think at this moment in her life, the song has many meanings and it’s an amazing choice."
Over her three-decade singing career, Dion has had 17 albums on the Billboard 200 chart -- including 12 top 10s and four No. 1s -- selling almost 250 million albums. She holds the record for most No. 1s on the Adult Contemporary chart with 11 chart-topping songs. She has also earned five Grammy Awards and already has six Billboard Music Awards.
The 2016 Billboard Music Awards -- hosted by BBMA vet Ludacris and first-time host Ciara and produced by dick clark productions -- air live at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Sunday, May 22. In addition to Dion, Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, Justin Bieber and P!nk will all perform, with more performers to be announced in the coming weeks.

The Tuesday release of "Encore un soir" is also confirmed for...Australia. I'm not sure they normally get her French-language material, so I'm holding out hope that this album will get a worldwide release.

Totally cried watching her acceptance speech. I grew up listening to Celine and her music has had such an impact on me. She is a true legend. Unprecedented talent.

I've seen nothing. :( Looks like they're more focused on the French album.
