Last summer, international megastar Céline Dion postponed her Las Vegas Residency as well as her scheduled tour in Asia due to her husband's ongoing medical issues. According to the report, Dion's husband, René Angélil, had a tumor removed from his throat last December. The 46-year-old entertainer has been facing health issues of her own, including inflammation in her throat muscles, which caused her to cancel performances at Las Vegas' Caesars Palace since July 29th.

Today, the New York Post reveals that a representative for the singer says that she will return to the Las Vegas stage, but gave no dates for future performances.

In a statement emailed yesterday, Dion's rep Aldo Giampaolo said that he wanted to reassure Dion's fans. He added that the contracts for four of Dion's band members would not be renewed when they expire this weekend. A spokesman for Caesars Entertainment said the company and show producer AEG are ready to welcome Dion back to the venue as soon as she is ready but confirmed the news that there are no performance dates to announce.

About "Celine"

Set to stunning backdrop visuals custom designed for The Colosseum, "Celine" is directed by longtime Grammy Awards producer Ken Ehrlich. It features 31 musicians, including a full orchestra. Dion's voice, the exquisite band, elegant couture gowns and jaw-dropping sets fuse together for a memorable performance you have to see to believe. With flawless execution, Dion sings everything from her beloved '90s ballads including "The Power of Love" and "Because You Loved Me" to her edgier, new material from the "Loved Me Back To Life" album.

"Celine" is Dion's second residency at The Colosseum. After five consecutive years of sold out "A New Day..." shows and a year-long world tour that entertained 3 million fans in 25 countries, she returned to Las Vegas.
