Celine Dion goes on

With the Billboard awards taking place today, Celine Dion is officially back on the scene. After the loss of her husband and brother, in January 2016, she’s gradually returning to her career one step at a time.

Just a month after Rene’s death, the singer already returned to her Vegas Ceasar’s Palace show. Reportedly on Rene’s request. And now, she’s returned to the limelight.

Celine Dion’s chosen to return to music with one last tribute to her husband. Her new single is a cover of Queen’s “The Show Must Go On” and features violinist Linsey Stirling. During her interview for Good Morning America, Celine admitted that she chose to cover the song because her husband used to tell her that the show must go on.

The interview itself shows an incredibly strong Celine Dion. Clearly she’s still feeling the loss, but she must also be the most realistic person I’ve ever seen talk about the mourning process itself.

The story of her and Rene has been most publicized and a lot has been reported about how he guided her in life, but also prepared her for life after his death. It’s sweet to see her talk about how she, at some point, gave him the “ok” to stop worrying about her and the family they started together.

She seems very aware of the stage in life she’s in, but also aware of her own strength to realize where she wants to go. Rene would be proud.

With the new single out, one of her homes sold, and a new manager, Celine Dion is ready to go on and embark on the new phase of her life.
