It's been one year since Celine Dion's husband, Rene Angelil, who was also the singer's manager, died.

And on Saturday, the 48-year-old singer took to social media to pay tribute to her late love, who passed away at age 73 after a long battle with throat cancer.

To mark the first anniversary of Rene's death, Celine and her team shared a video montage on the Grammy-winner's Facebook page.
