Dion spoke to reporters for The Mirror about the preparations for Renee’s death in 2016. He was bedridden at home during his battle with cancer and was too ill to attend his wife’s shows while she was in Las Vegas. You can also watch the performance via a live stream.
It was the fulfillment of his ultimate wish. Celine says it wasn’t therapeutic for her, as she would rather be by his side than go through hard times, and took a year off.
But René, who was also Celine’s manager for years, really wanted to see his wife shine on stage again. So I got ready and played saying to the Mirror “I didn’t feel like partying or wearing short, feathery dresses… what got me going was that I I thought about it. I did it for him.”
It’s been a difficult time of grief for the star, but Celine Dion, 51, shows no signs of slowing down. Today, she’s using her grief as a force to fuel “Dionaissance” as fans describe it as she sells out tickets on her “Courage” world tour.
Dion sat down with the Los Angeles Times to discuss how the waves have been in the spotlight in recent years and how her fans have taken notice of her, dubbing her “Dionaissance” on social media. The singer told the publication that she didn’t know how to phrase it, but agreed with the statement.
His new songs and his world tour only show Dion’s new sense of boldness and soul. “I like the lights – I like to be watched,” she said. “I’m in show business. You show your ass or your back or your shoulder and say ‘Do you want to have sex with me’.” “Life is short,” I continued.
