Dion is currently on her Courage World Tour and dedicated all her performances this weekend to her mother.
Following the performance, she took to Instagram to thank fans for their support
Tanguay was quite the family matriarch, raising 14 children, including Dion, with husband Adhémar-Charles Dion.
Sharing a black-and-white family photo to Instagram, the 'My Heart Will Go On' singer wrote, "Maman, we love you so much…We dedicate tonight's show to you and I'll sing to you with all my heart. Love, Céline xx…"

They shared three children: René-Charles Angelil, and twin sons Nelson and Eddy Angélil, both nine.
Sharing an Instagram photo of her late husband, she wrote: "There is not a day that goes by without me thinking about your beautiful smile," she captioned a picture of her late husband. "We miss you, thank you for watching over us my love. I love you. Céline xx…"
