Céline Dion: “I could have died”.

Céline Dion confides in Jean-Philippe Dion, in Quebec, an in-depth interview.

Céline recalls her worst moments linked to her illness, from which she has been suffering since as far back as the Taking Chances tour.

“I could have stopped breathing. I could have died,” she says, echoing her recent revelations to NBC.

“I couldn't lie anymore,” she adds, before briefly touching on René Angélil's death.

“My children have already lost their father, I don't want them to be afraid of losing their mother,” she tells the host and long-time friend.
