Celine Dion is back in the studio working on a new album, with at least one track in honor of her late husband Rene Angelil – written by Pink.
Celine revealed the news of the collaboration to Entertainment Tonight, saying the song, called “Recovering,” has helped her heal since Angélil’s passing in January.
The singer revealed that she had the chance to thank Pink personally at the Billboard Music Awards where Celine accepted the Icon Award.
“When I saw her, I said, ‘For you to take the time to really write a song, to give me a tool, a piece of luggage to help me to move forward to walk to keep going…’ ” explained Dion.
“She is phenomenal. I love her for her talent, for her strength, for her focus, the person she is,” Dion said of the 36-year-old singer. ”
“It’s called ‘Recovering,'” the five-time GRAMMY winner revealed of the new song, adding that fans should “get ready.”
Celine also opened up to ET about how support from her fans has helped her through the six months following her husband’s death. Angelil died on Jan. 14 after battling throat cancer for several years. He was 73 years old.
“I think I do have a relationship with my fans that are [pushing] me [along],” Celine told ET. “They’ve been such supporters of my good days and my bad days.”
“They are so considerate for my happiness and my sadness, my good and bad moments, and they are [always] supporting me,” she added. “The fans are supporting not only my music, but who I am. I’ve been criticized for being an open book for so long, but it’s paying off today because they know me well.”
