Energetic as always on the other end of the line, the star now wants to know a more joyful sequel, 11 months after the death of her husband René Angélil.
"It's important to feel that you're really grounded on the ground and that you're alive. Because we must move forward. Because after all that has happened to us this year, we all deserve to have a happy year 2017 more and more easy, "she says calmly.
Between an album launch in French, concerts in Las Vegas, Antwerp, Paris, Montreal and Quebec City, and several media appearances, the 48-year-old singer held very busy in 2016. Extremely, this busy schedule Has helped her through her grief, she says.
"For Rene, seeing me sing, seeing me on stage, seeing me passionate, seeing myself artistically involved, is what made him happy. And that's what I did. [...] We can not remain in mourning until dry rose and it turns into ashes. We can not just say, "It's tough, it's tough, it's tough." At some point, we must learn to live in a different way. "
"I know that for my husband, the last three years, it was not a life. Today, he no longer suffers and I continue to live our passion, for him, for me, for us, with him and it is great fun, "adds the one who plans to take a family skiing holiday in the" Utah in a few weeks.

Céline Dion also has a thought for her artistic adviser, Gilles Ste-Croix, the co-founder of Cirque du Soleil, who lost his son Olivier Rochette this week after an accident at the Luzia show in San Francisco. "These are sad moments," notes the artist. We lost superheroes this year. I think of David Bowie, Prince, Leonard Cohen, my husband ... It was a pretty tough year. "
