It has been an extremely difficult week for Celine, as René died on Thursday after his own battle with throat cancer, as ET previously reported.
Celine has already canceled her upcoming Las Vegas shows on Jan. 16 and Jan. 17 following René's death.
So sorry for both of her losses. Praying for her and her family.
