WASHINGTON (AFP) - Canadian singer Celine Dion will return to her residency in Las Vegas in August after taking an indefinite break last year to care for her cancer-stricken husband, People magazine reported.

On her website, the star from French-speaking province Quebec hinted at the news on Saturday, exclaiming "Good news on the horizon!" showing her husband and one-time manager Rene Angelil, 73, watching television footage of Dion.

Dion, 46, will be resuming her residency at Caesars Palace s Colosseum in late August with a new show, according to People.

"It is very emotional for me and I m anticipating the emotions to grow even more as the date gets closer," Dion told the magazine.

Fans reacted with glee.

"I am super excited I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time!! I love you Celine and I am so excited for your return!" one wrote on her website.

The five-time Grammy winner performed in Sin City full-time for more than three years, wowing crowds with her biggest hits that include the theme song for the 1997 Hollywood blockbuster "Titanic" starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet -- "My Heart Will Go On."

In 2014, the international sensation suffered from a condition that caused her throat muscles to become inflamed, forcing her to cancel her scheduled shows in Las Vegas since her last performance on July 29 of that year.
