VIDEO : Céline Dion Returns to the Stage in Las Vegas After Year-Long Hiatus

After taking a year-long break from her Las Vegas residency last summer to care for her ailing husband René Angélil, Céline Dion returned to the stage Thursday at Caesars Palace's Colosseum in Las Vegas. Dion said, "The meaning of the songs have a new meaning now. I sung them, but now I mean it. To me they'll be different songs. To you, maybe not." Dion told reporters that Angélil would be watching her show live via video at their Las Vegas home. The Canadian songbird said her husband of nearly 21 years told her to "just enjoy" her comeback show. Angélil, 73, continues to battle throat cancer.
