Celine Dion’s quirky tribute to late husband and brother

Celine Dion is no stranger to busting a move, but her latest dance phase is in honour of something particularly close to her heart.

The quirky singer shared a photo on Monday of herself partaking in the Flamingo Challenge, which sees people standing on one leg and using the hashtag #flamingochallenge in a bid to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.

Dion lost her husband Rene Angelil and her brother Daniel Dion to cancer last year, while her father Adhémar Dion passed from the disease in 2003.

She captioned her photo: “In loving memory of René, my father Adhémar and my brother Daniel, let’s fight cancer together. Join me on the #FlamingoChallenge to raise money for the cure. – Céline xx”

It wasn’t long before fans jumped on board, with many of her younger fans in particular unable to resist the lure of a new social media craze.

Dozens lifted their legs in front of the houses, by the pool and at work in their efforts to throw their support behind the challenge.
