Now, that’s a caring wife: Celine Dion puts indefinite hold on work to take care of sick husband

Celine Dion is taking a hiatus from show business.

The 46-year-old singer has postponed all “activities indefinitely” due to health issues within her family.

Dion’s husband René Angélil underwent surgery in December to remove a cancerous tumor from his throat while she also has been battling inflammation in the same area.

Dion’s throat illness has resulted in her being unable to perform since July 29.

“Rene’s surgery last December (has) been a very difficult and stressful time for the couple as they deal with the day-to-day challenges of fighting this disease while trying to juggle a very active show business schedule, and raise their three young children,” a press release read on Dion’s website Wednesday.

“I want to devote every ounce of my strength and energy to my husband’s healing, and to do so, it’s important for me to dedicate this time to him and to our children. I also want to apologize to all my fans everywhere, for inconveniencing them, and I thank them so much for their love and support,” The Power of Love” songstress said in a statement.The release revealed Dion will “cancel her shows at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace until further notice. She will also cancel her tour of Asia, previously scheduled for the fall of this year.”

Dion’s news to take this time to be with her husband, who discovered her in the ’80s, comes just two months after Angélil stepped down as her manager.
