Celine Dion cancels all shows and work to look after sick husband René Angélil after cancer surgery
The All By Myself hitmaker has announced that she wants to concentrate her energy on helping her husband and has cancelled her Asia tour and Vegas dates
Celine Dion has cancelled her work commitments so that she can look after her husband of 20 years, René Angélil.
The My Heart Will Go On star has announced that she will be concentrating all her efforts into helping her 72-year-old husband recover after he underwent an operation to remove a cancerous tumour from his throat.
Celine has had to ditch her Asia tour dates and her Las Vegas residency as well as any other commitments that she had booked.
In a statement released to People magazine, the singer said: ''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.
“I also want to apologise to all my fans everywhere, for inconveniencing them, and I thank them so much for their love and support ... at this very difficult and stressful time.”
The Think Twice star, who has three children with René, 13-year-old son René-Charles and three-year-old fraternal twins Eddy and Nelson, took two years off from 2000 to 2002 to help look after her husband, who was diagnosed with throat cancer.
Shortly after the couple welcomed their first child.
Celine has been a regular fixture at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, which originally began with an epic five-year residency from 2003 to 2007.
She then signed back on for a new residency in 2011 and while it started as a three-year stint, it was extended last year to 2019.
