Celine Dion is hoping to return to her Las Vegas residency by the end of this year (15).

The My Heart Will Go On hitmaker scrapped all her performances at Caesars Palace indefinitely in August (14) so she could care for her husband Rene Angelil as he recovers from a battle with throat cancer.

Bosses at the resort have been filling The Coliseum venue with acts including Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, and Shania Twain, but they had hoped Dion would be back performing by March (15), despite speculation she would not be returning to Sin City.

According to Tmz.com, the singer is still unable to give bosses an exact date of when she will be back but has said it will most likely be towards the end of the year (15).
