Celine Dion has paid an emotional tribute to her late husband René Angélil.
The 47-year-old posted a touching photo on her Facebook page with her arms wrapped around him, sharing details of his ‘celebration of life’.
“Today, a “celebration of life” of René Angélil will be held at the colosseum at Caesars palace from 19 pm (PST) and will be broadcast simultaneously online.”
“During the event, of the guests who have all witnessed René will speak and will remember the man he was through stories and memories. We invite you to follow the celebration online at http://reneangelilcelebrationoflife.com/,” the post read, which was translated from French.
She went on to thank her fans for their support during this difficult time.
“We thank from the bottom of my heart all the people who have expressed their love for René during these challenging times.”
“Your testimony and your support helped us, more than you can imagine to get to this stage and to make him our good-byes.”
“Thank you also to the government of Québec for the holding of funeral national as well as to many people and organisations who mobilised for him to make a last tribute to the height of the man he was.”
Rene passed away after a long battle with cancer at 73 years of age.
