"Forever missed": Celine Dion's emotional tribute to late husband

Celine Dion has shared an emotional tribute to her late husband René Angélil on the nine-year anniversary of his death.

The French-Canadian singer took to Instagram as she shared a photo of herself with their sons René-Charles, 23, and twins Eddy and Nelson, 14, and reflected on the last nine years without her partner. 

Celine's late husband, who was a music producer and talent manager, died in January 2016 at the age of 73, following a battle with throat cancer.

She honoured her late husband by saying he was her "greatest champion" and said he is "forever missed".

"René, we can't believe you've been gone nine years already. Not a day goes by that we don't feel your presence, RC, Eddy, Nelson and I," the singer wrote in her post.

"You were my greatest champion, my partner, and the one who always saw the best in me. I honor you and you are forever missed mon amour…. We love you. —Celine xx."

Celine's emotional post comes just weeks after she shared another emotional post about her late husband, as she honoured what would've been their 30th wedding anniversary. 

"You still fill our hearts, every day. You are everything for us. We miss you so much. Happy 30th anniversary, mon amour," she wrote online in December.
