Céline Dion’s heart will always go on for René Angélil.
The “Power of Love” singer shared a heartbreaking message for her late husband 10 years after he died at age 73 following a years-long battle with cancer.
“Mon amour, ten years without you feels like just a day, and yet each day feels like a decade,” Dion wrote on Instagram Jan. 14 alongside a snap of the former talent manager’s portrait leaning against a black piano. “Ten years without your caress, and yet every day I feel your touch.”
And the Grammy winner wasn’t the only one who had a heartwarming tribute for René, who began managing Dion’s career when she was 12 and married her 14 years later in 1994. The post also included a note from the couple’s three sons, René-Charles Angélil, 24, and twins Nelson Angélil and Eddy Angélil, 15.
“We miss you more than we can bear,” the message continued, “but you taught us to be strong.”
They added, “We love you more, every day and every year.”

This isn’t the first time Dion has spoken out about René’s 2016 passing. Shortly after the tragedy, the “My Heart Will Go On” singer got candid about the complicated emotions she felt during his final days.
“I’m 48 years old and I lost the love of my life,” she told People in 2016. “I miss him a lot from when he was great but not when he was suffering. I cannot be selfish. You have to let people go. I feel at peace.”
Indeed, René’s health had been in decline for several years before his death. In fact, in 2014, Dion canceled her Las Vegas residency to take care of her husband. Two years later, she canceled another string of shows at Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace to mourn his passing.
“You see your husband suffer for three years, and it’s not what you want to see,” Dion told People. “So now I know he is well, and we live with him in a different way. And I see him through the eyes of my children every single day.”
Celine Dion made a heartfelt surprise appearance during the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest. The competition show has a special place in her heart after she won the contest for Switzerland in 1988.
