FROM HEAVEN TONIGHT — RENÉ’S FINAL WORDS AND SONG WITH CÉLINE (2000) RELEASED AFTER 25 SILENT YEARS… YOU’LL FEEL HIM BESIDE HER AGAIN
After 25 years of silence, a revelation filled with tenderness and unmistakable emotion has been released to the world — the final recording Céline Dion ever made with her late husband, René Angélil, captured quietly in the year 2000, now unveiled for the first time. And the moment his voice enters the tape, listeners say it feels like a presence returning… gentle, familiar, unforgettable.
This recording does not sound like a studio session.
It sounds like love.
The tape opens with René’s voice — warm, steady, softly recorded but unmistakably alive. Those close to Céline say hearing him again after so many years felt like the air shifted. As his first words rise through the speakers, you can hear the love and encouragement that guided Céline through every step of her journey. These were not scripted lines. These were the words of a husband speaking from the heart.
Then the music begins.
Céline’s voice from 2000 — bright, rich, filled with youth and devotion — meets René’s in a way that feels destined. Their harmony is not polished or rehearsed. It is natural. Human. Intimate. The sound of two people singing in the safety of home, sharing a moment that neither could have known would one day become a treasure carried across decades.
Those who have heard the restored recording describe moments that bring immediate tears:
— René softly whispering encouragement before Céline enters
— her breath catching as she sings the line meant for him
— their laughter between takes
— a tenderness between phrases that feels like a hand held gently over the heart
And then… the part that has left fans speechless:
René’s final recorded words — spoken quietly, almost like a blessing:
“As long as you sing, I am with you.”
When Céline heard this again for the first time, witnesses say she closed her eyes, pressed her hands to her face, and let the tears fall freely. It was not sorrow alone — it was recognition, gratitude, memory, and a love that has never faded.
This release is not a publicity moment.
It is not a staged unveiling.
It is a gift — one born of grief softened by time and love strengthened by distance.
For older fans who have walked with Céline through every era of her life, this moment is almost too moving to describe. They remember René as the man who discovered her, protected her, lifted her, and devoted his life to nurturing her gift. Hearing him speak and sing beside her once more feels like stepping back into a moment the world thought was gone forever.
For younger fans, it is a glimpse into the deepest part of Céline’s world — the private tenderness that shaped her legendary voice long before the spotlight ever found her.
This recording proves what so many people already believed:
Love does not end.
Love does not fade.
Love does not disappear when the body leaves.
Their eternal love song lives on.
And tonight — through this long-hidden recording — René stands beside Céline once more, singing with her, encouraging her, and reminding the world that some harmonies never break… not even in heaven.
