Céline Dion has delighted fans by appearing at the New York premiere of her documentary I Am: Céline Dion, accompanied by her doting son René-Charles Angélil.
The appearance comes after the singing icon, 56, vowed recently that she would return to the stage, despite revealing in 2022 she had been diagnosed with stiff -person syndrome. She says her three children – René-Charles, 23, and twins Nelson and Eddie, 13 – have been “her light” as she deals with the rare disorder.
“I barely could walk at one point and I was missing very much living,” says the Canadian-French singer, whose husband René Angélil died in 2016 from throat cancer when Nelson and Eddie were just five years old. “My kids started to notice. I let them know, ‘You lost your dad, but Mum has a condition and it’s diff erent. I’m not going to die. It’s something that I’m going to learn to live with.’”
The superstar revealed that all three children are incredibly supportive, and the twins have run through drills with her and her physical therapist so they know what to do when she experiences a “crisis episode”.
