As an artist, to feel confident and to experience enough and to keep going.
"I'm well because he (Rene) is not suffering anymore, because the hardest thing is not to lose somebody you love, but to see them suffer," Celine added. "So for me to know that he is in a place where he doesn't suffer anymore makes me feel way better."

The Canadian star then lightened up the proceedings by showing off her talents as a balladeer, turning the lyrics of songs by the likes of Nelly and Britney Spears into tearjerkers.

Celine also lost her brother Daniel to cancer days after the death of her husband, and her brother-in-law Guy Poirier is currently battling the disease.
