Celine Dion Wants to Honor Rene Angelil With a Heartfelt Tattoo
His heart will go on.
Celine Dion has revealed the sweet and permanent way she would like to honor her late husband, Rene Angelil, who died in January after a lengthy battle with throat cancer. In a rapid-fire interview with The Scene, Dion described what kind of tattoo she would get in his memory.

"She is phenomenal. I love her for her talent, for her strength, for her focus, the person she is," Dion said of the "Just Like Fire" singer. "At the [Billboard Music Awards] when I saw her, I said, 'For you to take the time to really write a song, to give me a tool, a piece of luggage to help me to move forward to walk to keep going…"
