Celine Dion is returning to the stage in Las Vegas, a year after she put her career on hold 'indefinitely' for health and family reasons.

The singer cancelled all performances from August last year after her husband, Rene Angelil, was diagnosed with throat cancer for the second time.

“It was Rene's wish that I come back,” Dion wrote in a statement. “While my family will always be my priority, my fans are just as important to me.”

The Canadian star, best known for the “Titanic” hit “My Heart Will Go On”, will be back on stage at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on August 27. She last performed there on July 29, 2014.

The 46-year-old singer has been married to Angelil, who is also her manager, since 1994. They have three children together.

“I look forward to performing again for all of you... and more importantly having Rene there with me,” Dion's statement continued. “Thank you for giving me this time I needed to spend with my family.”
