Last week, Celine Dion sadly lost her 92-year-old mother Thérèse Tanguay-Dion. Her mother passed on the fourth anniversary of Celine’s brother’s death and just days after the anniversary of her husband’s death. It had to be a very hard loss. To pay tribute to her mom, she sang “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” at a recent concert.

Celine is still on her “Courage World Tour.” During her Friday performance in Miami, Florida, she sang a very beautiful version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Fans were very moved by the performance, giving Celine a reported five-minute standing ovation.
