Céline Dion’s Tear-Filled Return to the Stage: We Were There
On Monday night, over 1,000 of Céline Dion’s biggest fans—including me—gathered at Lincoln Center in New York City to all cry together. Perhaps the most emotional attendee at the event: Dion herself.
At the premiere of her new documentary, I Am: Céline Dion, which will be available to stream June 25 on Prime Video, the singer took the stage to a screaming standing ovation. Tears began flowing in the audience, and certainly down my cheeks, before Dion even began speaking, with Dion visibly moved by the response. The applause and cheering lasted a full minute before Dion was able to speak.
“This is by far the biggest crowd I’ve had in a few years,” she said. Someone in the crowd shouted in response, “We love you,” after which Dion got immediately choked up and said, “I missed that.”
