Céline Dion Celebrates Golf Course Win with Sons by Playing Air Guitar in Video — Watch!
Céline Dion's impressive tee-off and celebration is relatable to any golfer. In a video shared on Thursday, March 20, the Queen of Power Ballads showed off her golf skills, hitting a drive-off a tee during an outing with her sons René-Charles, Nelson and Eddy. "You like that one?" Dion, 56, shouted to them from the tee. She then used the driver as a guitar, performing an air guitar solo and triumphantly grooved back to the cart. Dion shouted, "Hey!" raising her club before boarding the cart. "That one was so good," one of her sons agreed. "I had a beautiful day with my boys out on the course…. Getting back into the swing of things!!♥️," she wrote on Instagram, signing off with "Celine xx…" Fans were excited to see her golf skills and energy. "Your ball will go on and on 😂❤️," one wrote. "Seeing your smile and energy is pure joy! This moment with your children is so heartwarming. And that Freddie Mercury impression? Iconic 😍," another chimed in. "Getting back into the swing of things again and killing it! This makes me so happy to see! 💜," a third said.
