Celine Dion has opened up about her beloved husband René's battle with throat cancer.  The legendary singer spoke as she returned from a year-long hiatus to her residence at Las Vegas' Caesars Palace. Dion, 47, told how it was at the behest of René, 73, that she returned, saying: "I didn't want to be here at first, I don't need it. Don't get me wrong, I love singing for people, but I have priorities." Speaking to USA TODAY, she added: "But René really gave me a gift." The couple pictured in Las Vegas in 2013 "All my grieving, it was during this last year. I think I've got this. For now. When it hits me, it's going to hit me. But my biggest job is to tell my husband, we're fine. I'll take care of our kids. You'll watch us from another spot." Celine wed René Angélil, who acted as her manager for decades, in 1994.   Celine and René married in 1994 "We have asked many times, how long does he have, three weeks, three months? René wants to know. "But they say they don't know." The couple have three sons together, 14-year-old René-Charles and 4-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy.
