While all her performances have been exquisitely powerful, Celine Dion was all the more emotional since she is preparing for her last Christmas with 73-year-old husband Rene Angelil. But in spite of what she's been going through in her personal life, Dion put on a brave face for her children: 14-year-old Rene Charles, five-year-old twins, Nelson and Eddy.

Her performance, which captivated and reduced the audience to tears, was a tribute to the victims of the Paris terrorist attacks on Nov. 13, Hollywood Life reported.
Even though Christmas is the most joyous time of the year for most people, it might prove to be a difficult time for singer Celine Dion as she assumes that this might be the last Christmas she will get to spend with her cancer-stricken husband, René Angélil.
