Céline Dion In Tears Onstage — Haunted By Dead Husband

Céline Dion celebrated her 1,000th show in Las Vegas — with the heartbroken widow in tears as she told the crowd that her husband René Angélil was still at her side! "My wonderful dear husband is here tonight with us," she said from the stage. "I am so sure." And while the diva ultimately celebrated her stint at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Celine made it clear that she had given up on new romance.

"I'm still married to him," Celine told an interviewer before the show — adding: "I've never kissed another man in my life!" The international pop star can't be questioned there, either, having met René when she was only 12 years old. That made her husband's death only more heartbreaking, although Celine also told her Vegas audience how she was trying to recover from her loss.

"We went on a little vacation," she announced — talking about her children, René-Charles and twins Nelson and Eddy (pictured at René's funeral). "Well, they told us we were going on a vacation, but I think the transition from English to French was not quite right — because we went on tour!"

"It is a good thing that we love what we do," added Celine. "We had such a great time, and we got to see our families, friends and our kids had such a great time to play with cousins, my mum and brothers and sisters, and we ate corn on the cob and sat at fires outside."

"It was so wonderful," Celine told the crowd, "because when i went home with my kids they were playing bare feet in the grass with frogs and worms...because [in Vegas] you cannot go out in bare feet. No, no It is way too hot. It was wonderful and what we all needed — fun."
