Celine Dion<\/a>‘.<\/p>\nCeline – who has sons Ren\u00e9-Charles, 23, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 13, with late husband Ren\u00e9 Ang\u00e9lil – thanked her family as she shook to the stage at the event.<\/p>\n
In an emotional speech, she said: “Of course, I wouldn’t be here without the daily love and support from my wonderful children.<\/p>\n
“Thank you, \u200b\u200bRen\u00e9-Charles. Thank you, Nelson. Thank you, Eddy. Thank you very much.”<\/p>\n
\nAs well as thanking her physician Dr. Amanda Piquet and the documentary filmmaker Irene Taylor Brodsky, Celine – who admitted it was the largest crowd she had been in front of in years – also had some kind words for her fans.<\/p>\n
\nShe continued: “And thanks to you, my fans, your presence in my journey has been a gift beyond measure. Your never-ending love and support for all the issues have delivered me to this moment.”<\/p>\n
\nOpening up about her condition, the ‘My Heart Will Go On\u2019 singer admitted she has compared herself to “an apple from a tree” in a powerful analogy.<\/p>\n
\nShe explained: “One of the stories you will hear from me in this movie as I was reading, learning about my condition.<\/p>\n
\n“I compared myself \u2014 and I’m not saying this because we’re in New York \u2014 but I compared myself to an apple. Oh, it sounds like we made it up, but I did, and I was in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
\n“When I said to myself that I compared myself to an apple from a tree, [I said], \u2018I don’t want you [fans] to wait in line anymore if I don’t have any shiny apples for you.’<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSo a couple of days ago, I saw a message from a fan and it said, \u2018We’re not here for the apple. We\u2019re here for the truth.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n
\nCeline wiped a tear from her eyes as she reflected on her friendships, and her son Ren\u00e9-Charles brought her a tissue on stage.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: “I cannot believe how fortunate I am to have my friends in my life.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThank you to all of you from the bottom of my heart for being part of my journey. This movie is my love letter to each of you.”<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI hope to see you all again very soon,’ she added as the crowd rose for another standing ovation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
