The 49-year-old dedicated her 1997 hit song to her late husband Rene Angelil, who passed away earlier that year in January after succumbing to his lengthy battle with throat cancer.
“My Heart Will Go On has been an important song in my life for nearly two decades,” she shared at the time.
“Now and tonight, I’m very honored to sing it for all of you and for the love of my life. Rene, you will always be in my heart.”
Renee was 73 when he passed away.
