Celine Dion's Late Husband René Angélil Honored During Grammys 'In Memoriam' Reel as 'My Heart Will Go On' Plays

Celine Dion's Late Husband René Angélil Honored During Grammys 'In Memoriam' Reel as 'My Heart Will Go On' Plays February 15,2016

The Recording Academy paid tribute to René Angélil Monday night. 

During its annual 'In Memorial' reel, the Grammys decided to honor the late music manager by poignantly playing his widow Céline Dion's love ballad "My Heart Will Go On." 

The song began as composer James Horner – who died in a plane crash last summer – was observed and looped while as Angélil's picture flashed across the screen. (Maybe best known for scoring Titanic, Horner also wrote its moving theme that Dion ended up recording and making into a hit; he won three Grammys and two Oscars for his work on the film.) 

The Grammys' memorial segment was just the latest commemoration of Angélil, who died last month at the age of 73 after a years-long battle with cancer. 

A week after his death, Angélil's family, friends and fans gathered in Montreal, where he was honored at a public visitation and national funeral. Then, on Feb. 3,2016  his life was celebrated at a memorial service in Las Vegas, his home away from home. 

Grief-stricken as she is, Celine Dion, 47, says her fans' outpouring of love has helped her family begin to heal. 

"The support we've received has been such a blessing," Celine Dion .
