Celine Dion is still scheduled to perform next month.

The 47-year-old Candian singer is set to take the stage at Caesars Palace on February 23 in Las Vegas.

This, of course, comes in the wake of her husband René Angélil‘s sudden death last week.

“That’s what René would want. He wants her to perform and come back,” a source told People. “He knew her better than anybody and he probably knows that’s what she needs too, to perform.”

Sad news – Celine Dion‘s husband of 21 years, Rene Angelil, has died.

The 47-year-old Canadian singer’s longtime love and former manager was 73 years old and battled cancer for a long time.

She added about his difficult road to recovery, “We are taking life one day at a time. [But] we are choosing to live.”

If you weren’t aware, Celine is set to return to Las Vegas to continue her residency at The Colosseum in late August this year.

Celine Dion has announced that she is postponing her Las Vegas residency, cancelling her tour in Asia, and postponing her show business endeavors indefinitely due to her husband Rene Angelil‘s health issues, as well as her own personal health issues.

After having a tumor removed from his throat in December, Rene and Celine have gone through “a very difficult and stressful time.”

“I want to devote every ounce of my strength and energy to my husband’s healing, and to do so, it’s important for me to dedicate this time to him and to our children,” Celine told People. “I also want to apologize to all my fans everywhere, for inconveniencing them, and I thank them so much for their love and support.”

Celine has also been fighting an illness that has caused inflammation in her throat muscles and has been suffering since late July.

Our thoughts are with Celine, Rene Angelil, and their family and loved ones during this time.
