Céline Dion celebrates ‘Courage’ album release with karaoke at drag bar

Céline Dion celebrated the release of her new album, “Courage,” with fellow queens.

Dion, 51, performed an impromptu karaoke set at Lips Drag Queen Show Palace Restaurant & Bar in New York City on Thursday night in honor of her album’s release. She sang her hit single “Flying on My Own” and gave an emotional shoutout to her late husband René Angélil, telling the crowd she hopes he likes the new album. She then gave him a kiss up in heaven.

“I hope René will like the album. I put my soul, I put my heart into it,” Dion told the room full of excited fans, including one who breathlessly claimed it was “the best day of my life.”

Dion said, “This album has been a long process. It has been making me travel through different emotions.”

The night’s decked out performers came onstage to meet Dion, including the beglammed and bewigged bartenders who ran out from behind their post to meet the star.

Earlier in the night, guests participated in a Dion-only karaoke contest — which included one man whipping off his shirt at the end of his song to shouts of “Take it off” — and watched performances from various drag queens.

Spies also told Page Six that Dion, wearing a striking silver ensemble, stopped to take a bunch of selfies with fans who were standing outside Lips.

In the days leading up to her album’s launch, Dion released a tear-filled music video for the record’s title track.

“Courage don’t you dare fail me now / Cause it’s not easy / When you’re not with me,” Dion sings in the tune as she holds back tears.

The iconic musician lost Angélil and brother, Daniel, only two days apart in 2016.
