Sep 10 2016 - 7:45am

Celine Dion lost her husband of 22 years [1], René Angélil, to throat cancer in January, and on Friday, she paid tribute to him in a really beautiful way. The singer attended the Stand Up to Cancer event at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA, where she mingled with Bradley Cooper [2], answered phones, and showed off a t-shirt that paid tribute to her family. Shannen Doherty, who is currently battling breast cancer, was also in attendance [3].

Celine's appearance is just the latest thing she's done to honor her husband's memory. After opening up about being "at peace" with René's death [4], she also dedicated her Icon Award to him [5] after putting on an emotional performance [6] at the Billboard Music Awards in May.
