Celine Dion, the singer, made a rare public appearance on Monday at an ice hockey game in Las Vegas.
According to media reports, this NHL game marked her first public outing in over three years.
The 55-year-old Canadian singer took to Instagram on Thursday to share her experience of visiting the Montreal Canadiens after their hockey game against the Vegas Golden Knights in Las Vegas on Monday night.

"Do you recall when you were merely 14 years old and sang 'Une Colombe' for the Pope?" St-Louis reminisced in French, alluding to Pope John Paul II's visit to Canada in 1984.
"Well, its been a while since then, eh?â¦Weve changed a little since then, but not too much," she is seen joking in French.
"Weve aged well," St-Louis responded with a laugh.
Talking to some of the players after giving them firm handshakes, the singer imparted some wisdom.
"Just stay healthy, strong, healthy, nothing wrong," she said, adding: "Do what you do best."
In her Instagram caption, Dion thanked the team for the "memorable" meeting, signing off with "Have a great season! - Celine xxâ¦"
