During an ABC News interview, Dion revealed that she has to feed her husband, René Angélil, through a feeding tube three times a day.
“He can’t eat, so I feed him,” Dion told ABC reporter, Deborah Roberts, between tears. “I have to feed him three times a day… I do this myself.”
She may be a powerhouse diva on the stage, but at home Dion is a wife and mom, explaining during the interview about her husband’s long road to recovery and her decision to put performing on hold.

“We are taking life one day at a time,” Dion said. “We are choosing to live.”
Dion has postponed her Las Vegas performances at Caesars Palace indefinitely while she cares for her husband, and it sounds like the hotel has been supporting her time with her family.
Though the singer is under contract and will eventually be heading back to the Las Vegas stage at The Colosseum, Us Weekly confirmed that there are no set performances or scheduled appearances planned just yet.
The outlet received a statement from Caesars Entertainment that said the hotel is “prepared to welcome Céline Dion back to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace as soon as she is ready to return.”
“The fans, they know that I’m an open book,” Dion said during the interview. “I sing. That’s the only thing I know.”
