The legendary singer is mother to sons René-Charles, 23, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 13
Céline Dion brought a special date for the New York City premiere Monday night — her eldest son, René-Charles Angélil!
Dion and René-Charles arrived at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center for the New York premiere of her documentary I Am: Celine Dion on June 17.
While walking the carpet, the singer, 56, wore a cream monochromatic look, with a long-sleeved lavallière blouse and a floor-length silk skirt. Her 23-year-old son wore a classic black suit and tie with a white collared shirt underneath for the special event.
Dion recently shared how her sons René-Charles, 23, and 13-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy, help her through her health journey with stiff-person syndrome.
“I barely could walk at one point, and I was missing very much living. My kids started to notice. I was like, ‘OK, they already lost a parent. I don’t want them to be scared,’” she said.
Her husband and their father, René Angélil, died from throat cancer in 2016.
“I let them know, ‘You lost your dad, but mom has a condition and it’s different. I’m not going to die. It’s something that I’m going to learn to live with,’” she continued.
Her documentary, directed by Irene Taylor, “gives us a raw and honest behind-the-scenes look at the iconic superstar’s struggle with a life-altering illness,” according to the official synopsis.
“Serving as a love letter to her fans, this inspirational documentary highlights the music that has guided her life while also showcasing the resilience of the human spirit.”
Dion was diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome in August 2022, and she shared the news about her health journey that December.
The “Power of Love” singer’s diagnosis heavily impacted her life. She had to cancel tour dates and take on an intense treatment plan that included medication, immune therapy, vocal therapy, and physical rehabilitation five days a week.
Dion also mentioned how much she misses performing for her fans. “I miss my fans tremendously. It’s a partnership. What I give, they give it back by their emotion that I see in their faces, with their smiles, with their tears,” she shared in June.
“The curtain opens, and I feel the adrenaline. It’s pretty amazing that after how many years, every time that curtain opens, I still feel that.”
I Am: Celine Dion hits Prime Video on June 25.
