Celine Dion's show this weekend at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas have been cancelled due to the death of her husband Rene Angélil. According to the reports, Angélil died at his home in Henderson on Thursday at the age of 73, following a years-long battle with throat cancer.

The reports on Angélil's death were confirmed on the website of the Canadian diva. He is survived by Dion and their three children: 14-year-old Rene Charles and 5-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy, as well as his adult children from previous marriages: Anne-Marie, 38, Patrick, 47, and Jean-Pierre, 41.

"Rene Angélil, 73, passed away this morning at his home in Las Vegas after a long and courageous battle against cancer," Angélil's rep said in a statement, as per People. "The family requests that their privacy be respected at the moment."

According to the Clark County Office of the Coroner or Medical Examiner, Angélil died under the care of a physician and his death was due to natural causes and no further investigation was expected.

Angélil had battled three bouts of cancer, which led to Dion's multiple career hiatus. But last year, the "My Heart Will Go On" hitmaker went back to Las Vegas after Angélil's urged her to perform again. But Dion revealed her husband's excruciating fight with throat cancer in an exclusive tell-all interview with ABC News' correspondent Deborah Roberts.

Angélil's cancer returned in 2014, following the removal of a tumor in December 2013. He had been previously being diagnosed with throat cancer in 1999.

Meanwhile, Caesars Palace has announced the cancellation of Dion's weekend shows because of Angélil's death. According to USA Today, the 47-year-old Canadian songstress will be back on Feb. 23. The statement also revealed that the couple, who tied the knot in 1994, had celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary last month.

"With heavy hearts, we regret to inform you that Celine performances Saturday, Jan. 16 and Sunday, Jan. 17 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace have been cancelled," the statement read, as seen on Daily Mail. "Celine earlier today announced the death of her husband Rene Angélil after long fight with cancer. Celine will return to The Colosseum on Feb. 23 to resume performances."

Before his death, Angélil had been sick for years. In August, Celine Dion said her husband was on a feeding tube for the last two years, Dion. And after a series of procedures in Boston hospitals, he was back living at the family's home in Las Vegas. Despite being scared, Dion has kept a brave face until the end of her husband's cancer ordeal.
