Céline Dion ended her 16-year run in Las Vegas by making it a family affair.
The prolific singer's children — 18-year-old René-Charles and 8-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy — appeared on stage at the end of the night to present her with flowers as she blew kisses to the crowd.

Earlier in the night, Dion recalled her late husband, René Angelil, telling the crowd, "I’m both proud and humbled by what we’ve accomplished at the Colosseum since we began 16 years ago when René and I first shared this dream. This entire experience has been a huge part of my show business career, one that I will cherish forever."
She then added, "I have so many people to thank, but the most important ‘thank you’ goes to my fans, who gave us the opportunity to do what we love."
The singer debuted a new song, "Flying On My Own," and closed the night by performing the classic, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
