Celine Dion brought down the house at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards with an emotional rendition of Queen’s “The Show Must Go On.” The performance was especially personal for Dion, who lost both her husband, René Angélil, and brother, Daniel, this year to cancer.
The 48-year-old was honored with the Icon Award at the show and received a warm welcome from singer Seal and a video tribute. Dion looked stunning in a gorgeous, sparkling gown with a dramatic slit.
Dion’s teenage son, René-Charles Angelil, surprised the singer by handing her the Icon award personally after her performance. “Rene, this one’s for you,” Dion said. “The show must go on.”
