An emotional Dion was handed a tissue by her son René-Charles Angélil as she delivered a speech on stage during a screening of her new film at New York City's Alice Tully Hall on Monday. After his passing, Dion said she had a hard time balancing raising her kids, René-Charles, 23, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 13, with her career - all while keeping her deteriorating health a secret from the public.
