Celine Dion shows the strain as she’s spotted out five months after the death of her husband and brother
The star is in Paris ahead of her European shows
IT'S been a tough few months for Celine Dion following the deaths of her husband and her brother.
Despite wearing a cheerful yellow jacket, Ceine showed the strain of her family tragedy as she greeted fans in Paris yesterday.
Celine's husband Rene Angelil died in January aged 73 following a long battle with throat cancer.
Her brother Daniel just days later aged 59 after suffering from brain, tongue and throat cancer.
Celine was pictured blowing kisses to the crowd and waved at fans as she left the Hotel Royal Monceau.
She was snapped wearing her engagement and wedding rings which she has continued to wear following Rene's death.
The 48-year-old paired her sunny coat with a chic monochrome look of an oversized white shirt and black trousers.
A chic black bag with a black and white scarf draping from the handle and knee high open-toed black leather boots topped off her look.
She covered her face in some over-sized sunglasses and wore her hair in a tight bun.
The My Heart Will go on singer is in Paris as she prepares for a series of European concerts.
She recently topped the charts in France with her song Ecore Un Sori which was dedicated to her husband of 22 years.

Speaking to Paris Match magazine recently, Celine revealed her fivve-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy and Rene Charles, 15, all kiss a door handle to remember their father every day.
She said: "Sometimes we send up some balloons with messages for Papa and - this was Eddy's idea - every morning we kiss the door handle and say, 'Good day Papa.' "
Celine revealed her twins also wish their late father goodnight and kiss a photo of him every evening before bed time.
She said: "By the bed there is a photo of their pap after his first cancer. It carries this inscription, 'Everything will be OK.' The twins kiss it. I finish by saying, 'Goodnight my love.'
"The little ones say together, 'Goodnight Papa, I love you my darling.'"
