The singer posted an emotional tribute for her late husband who died of throat cancer in 2016. Dion posted a photo to Instagram on Wednesday the 15th of January of a sunlit portrait of Angélil, placed on a piano.
"Mon amour, ten years without you feels like just a day, and yet each day feels like a decade," she wrote in a joint statement with her two sons. "Ten years without your caress, and yet every day I feel your touch. We miss you more than we can bear, but you taught us to be strong. We love you more, every day and every year," they continued.
René had battled cancer a number of times before he passed in 2016. The 'My heart will go on' singer took a two year hiatus in 1999 to care for René and took another break in 2014 when the cancer returned.
The singer has remained open about her grief and shares tributes to her late husband online for any milestone. In January 2025, on what would have been his 83rd birthday, Dion shared to Instagram:
"Today is your birthday, but the date doesn't matter because there isn't a day that we aren't celebrating life with you, you are a part of us every day in the memories we cherish," she wrote. "While going through all the years of pictures and videos that consistently keep you alive, we hear your voice, we see your gestures and we adore your spirit. We celebrate you always. Happy Birthday René, Notre Amour," she continued.
