It's been exactly one year since her husband Rene Angelil's death.
And Celine Dion is clearly still in mourning, as she unveiled a powerful musical tribute to him on his anniversary.
The 48-year-old posted a new music video to her Facebook page on Saturday, sung completely a cappella, without a single instrument heard or needed
The simple yet moving video sees the Canadian singer tracing her hand along rows upon rows of family photographs in a candle littered bedroom.
When the camera pans out, a forlorn Celine sits on the bed surrounded by more photographs, one of them clutched to her chest.
My heart keeps calling you,' she captioned the unnamed video in her native French. 'Even more often today, after a year… I know you hear me. And I can hear you too. You’re my life. Forever, Celine xx…'
She then continued in English: 'My memory loves you, it asks about you all the time. Especially today… One year later, I wish R.I.P. meant Return If Possible. Forever yours, Céline xx…'
The date is extra difficult for Dion, as Rene would have turned 75 in just two days time.
The father of six - who shared three children with Celine - was also the singer's manager since she was 12.
They were together since 1987 and married in 1994; he remained her manager right up until 2014, until he stepped down due to his battle with throat cancer.
Earlier on Saturday, her team shared another emotional photo tribute on her Facebook page.
'Today, January 14th, it’s been a year since René left us. He will always be in our hearts,' they wrote.
