After husband’s death Celine Dion ready with first new song

Canadian pop superstar Celine Dion on
Wednesday announced her first new song
since the death of her husband and manager
Rene Angelil as she mourns him through
music.
The French-language song, "Encore Un Soir,"
which means "One More Night," will come out
in several days as the first track of her next
album, Dion said on her website.
The song is an homage to her late husband,
the French celebrity site Tele Star said.
it
is set to come out on May 24 as Dion opens
nine concerts in Paris, the magazine Paris
Match reported.
The bilingual star -- one of the most
successful artists of all time with more than
220 million albums sold -- is also due to
perform Sunday at the Billboard Music Awards
in her adopted home of Las Vegas.
Angelil died in January at age 73 following a
long struggle with throat cancer.
The music producer had been so struck
hearing Dion's voice when she was 12 that he
took her under his wing and married her in
1994 when she was 26.
Dion returned to her concert residency in Las
Vegas six weeks after his death in keeping
with his wishes.
In an interview broadcast Wednesday with
ABC television's "Good Morning America,"
Dion said that she thought of her late husband
when singing "The Show Must Go On."
She said that in their last conversation, she
told him not to be concerned about her or
their three children together.
"I started to talk to him and I said, you know
what, I want you to just go in peace," she
said. "I want you to not worry."
Dion's brother Daniel died of the same type of
cancer two days later.
"I said to myself, 'For his birthday, my
husband came and got my brother because
my brother was too weak to fly on his own,'"
she said.
