Welcome Back Celine Dion! : Performing at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Honoring the life of her husband, René Angélil, the man who plucked her out of childhood obscurity and propelled her to international fame, Celine Dion resumed her popular Las Vegas residency on Tuesday.

Celine Dion returned to the stage on February 23rd, 2016, for her first performance since her husband passed.

The award-winning Canadian singer received numerous standing ovations during her night at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Dion first began performing in Las Vegas in 2003, but returning to the stage was, according to the singer, an emotional time.

"Throughout my life, I only had eyes for my husband, who sat out here, night after night. People thought that I was looking at him actually but I didn't have to, I didn't need to, because everytime I closed my eyes, I felt René on stage with me," Dion told the audience.

Her husband René Angelil died on Jan. 14 of heart and cancer-related issues. Dion herself had fought an illness that has caused inflammation in her throat muscles when she cancelled herperformances in both Las Vegas and Asia in August 2014.

Dion said at the time it had been very difficult and stressful for the couple as they try to fight illness and juggle their show business schedule with raising three young children.

The Canadian entertainment manager discovered Dion, now 47, when she was 12. Angélil's illness, first diagnosed in 1999, prompted Dion to put her career on hold in 2014, suspending her Las Vegas residency. He supported her later return to the stage.

Kit Harington Confirms He Filmed New Game of Thrones Scenes, But Only As A Dead Body

We're hardly waiting for it, Game of Thrones. We all know Jon Snow will be back in some shape or form this season, and at this point we're ready for the show to just come back already and stop teasing us. Enough with the cagey interviews, the oh-look-everyone-is-dead promos, and all the other taunting we've had to put up with for the past year. Just give us our beautiful show and let us be shocked in peace! Kit Harington, the portrayer of the dead guy in question, is the one who's confusing us this time. Instead of just saying "you'll have to wait and see," or some other kind of spoiler-free stock answer about future plot points (like he gave last time he was asked), Harington is now just feeding us lies. In an interview with Time Out London that was supposed to be about the West End play he's in, Harington claimed he's done with Game of Thrones. "Look, I'm not in the show anymore. I'm definitely not in the new series,...
