Go out there and embrace life, and remember to never stop believing in yourself, because I believe in you.”
Dion also paid homage to her late husband and former managerRené Angélil, who died in 2016 after a years-long battle with throat cancer. He was 74 at the time of his death.

She continued, “We’re reaching out to you now more than ever, to guide us, protect us and continue to watch over us. And we pray that you’ll shine your love on the entire world, to all those at this very moment, who are facing incredibly difficult times.”
