Celine Dion will return to her Vegas show with a tribute to her late husband Rene Angelil. 

The singer will return to her residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Tuesday, where she will pay tribute to her late husband and manager during the show, she announced on her website on Monday.

The concert will also be live-streamed via her website and social media.

TMZ reports the new show will begin with a 10-minute tribute to Rene.

The singer's husband died after a long battle with cancer in January, at the age of 73.

The pair, who met when the Canadian singer was just 12 and he was her manager, had three children: Rene-Charles, 15, and five-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy.

Rene was laid to rest in Montreal on January 22 in a public funeral at Notre-Dame Basilica in Old Montreal, where the couple had married 21 years earlier.

Celine's brother Daniel, 59, died just two days after her husband.

Celine also spoke at the 'Celebration of Life' ceremony for Rene in Las Vegas earlier this month, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

The French Canadian star broke down as she paid tribute to Rene, who she said had kept her grounded and had always looked out for her. 

'I was never part of any of the meetings that he had where he had to say yes or no. He protected me from Day 1,' Dion said in a nearly 20-minute speech. 

Angelil was credited with the business decisions that made Dion one of the world's most popular voices, from agreeing to do the 'Titanic' song 'My Heart Will Go On' when critics doubted the movie, to the singer's glitzy Las Vegas Strip residency.
