Celine Dion Breaks Down In Tears While Debuting Her New Song About Her Late Husband

On September 9th, 2016, Céline Dion appeared on the TV broadcast of the “Stand Up To Cancer” concert. It was there she performed her brand new single for the first time ever — a heartbreaking tribute to the men Dion has lost to cancer.
“Recovering” was written by pop singer/songwriter Pink, who personally offered it to Dion. It’s a moving song about the journey of finding one’s self again through darkness and grief. Dion dedicated her performance to her late husband René Angélil, who died of throat cancer at the age of 74.
Just days after her beloved husband’s death, Dion’s brother Daniel passed away from brain, throat and tongue cancer. Her father, Adhémar Dion, also died of cancer in 2003.
