C\u00e9line Dion<\/a><\/strong>‘s final Last Vegas residency show included a touching tribute to her late husband and manager, Ren\u00e9 Ang\u00e9lil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The 51-year-old Grammy-winning singer performed her 1,141st and last concert at the Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace on Saturday after 16 years. As she sang a cover of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” photos of moments from her past shows were screened, as was a photo of her and Ang\u00e9lil. Their three sons, Ren\u00e9-Charles<\/strong>, 18, and 8-year-old twins Eddy<\/strong> and Nelson<\/strong>, then joined her onstage during an emotional final curtain call.<\/p>\n

“I’m both proud and humbled by what we’ve accomplished at the Colosseum since we began 16 years ago, when Ren\u00e9 and I first shared this dream,” Dion said. “This entire experience has been a huge part of my show business career…one that I will cherish forever. I have so many people to thank, but the most important \u2018thank you’ goes to my fans, who gave us the opportunity to do what we love.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

During the singer’s last Las Vegas show, she also debuted a new song, “Flying on My Own,” from her upcoming<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span>album, <\/span><\/span>Courage<\/span><\/span><\/em>, which is set for r<\/span><\/span>elease in November.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“What was the hardest for me is that, as you all know it’s very easy for me to cry, but I did not want to cry because I wanted to prove to myself, I wanted to prove to myself that I didn’t want the tears and the emotion to take over my strength that I feel,” Dion said backstage. “Flying on my own, this is a new chapter. Ren\u00e9 will always remain in my life.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

After the concert, Dion celebrated the conclusion of her residency with friends at Caesar’s Palace’s OMNIA nightclub, where she also hung out with resident headliner DJ Ti\u00ebsto<\/strong> and danced with her pals by the DJ booth and sipped Grey Goose vodka late into the night.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
