Award winning Singer Celine Dion receives Billboard Icon Award In Tears

 

The Grammy award winner and amazing Singer Celine Dion couldn't help but broke down in tears as her son honoured her with the Billboard Icon Award last night. The singer and Lindsey Stirling performed a stirring rendition of her new track, Queen Cover The Show Must Go On, which earned them both a standing ovation.

 

At the end of the song, host Seal revealed it was her son Rene Charles who would be presenting the singer with her coveted gong. As Rene Charles walked out, Celine broke down in tears.

“I want to be so strong for my family and my kids and I don't want to cry but you make me so happy - thank you,” she said as she receives the award.

"I want to thank Lindsey Stirling for sharing her wonderful talent with us tonight. This is such a tremendous honour. Of course music has been my passion before I can remember. So many people have helped me get where I am today. And most importantly my beloved husband who I know will continue to watch over me from above. Thank you Billboard Music Awards for honouring me.

  Then she ended with "René - this one is for you. The show must go on!”
