Celine Dion made an amazing and emotional return to the stage [1] on Sunday night when she attended the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. The big night marked the singer's first TV performance since losing her beloved husband, René Angélil [2], to throat cancer in January. Celine, who returned to her Las Vegas residency show just six weeks after her husband's death, took the stage at the T-Mobile Arena and belted out Queen's hit "The Show Must Go On." She was then presented the Billboard Icon Award by her 15-year-old son, René-Charles.

Celine opened up about the heartwarming surprise [3] to Entertainment Tonight, saying, "To try to perform that song without collapsing was big enough, and then I turned around and I saw my son. As a mother, I really, through this whole process of our new life, wanted to be strong. I thought I was going to make it through the whole night without tears and show strength, and love won. I just collapsed. I'm very thankful for the award and proud of my family so much."
