Celine Dion ends five year Vegas stint, looks forward to 'being mommy'

I had a life for the first time. I knew then that I wanted to have more success as a mother than a singer.

At one point, it was like feeling like the Titanic was about to sink again. But we believed and we went on with it. Even though the vibe was not that positive for us.

Rene urged Celine to press on, telling her the record-breaking $100 million contract made it impossible for her to quit. Celine took Rene’s advice, and since opening day in March 2003, she performed to more than 3 million fans, earning over $400 million. Some of those fans paid over $1,000 per ticket on eBay.

During her final number on Saturday, Rene and Rene-Charles joined her onstage, where Rene-Charles grabbed at rose petals raining down from overhead, handing them to his beaming mother.

After show, Celine declared the massive effort was worth all the trouble

Most of us have left our families behind to give ourselves every night. I can assure you it was worth it.

Tomorrow morning, it will be back to reality and back to (being) mommy.
