There’s no two ways about it, 2016 was a tough year for Celine Dion.
Between the loss of her beloved husband, René Angélil, and then her brother just two days later, the singer repeatedly spoke out about the grief she was experiencing, and became a symbol of strength to fans all over the world when she bravely returned to work within weeks.
That’s why this year, we’ve been so thrilled to see Celine enjoying herself to the max.
Whether it’s cosying up to celebs at A-list events, throwing her all into live performances or just not giving a damn what anyone thinks of her fashion choices (which, admittedly, aren’t to everyone’s tastes), here are just a handful of Celine’s best 2017 moments so far...
