Celine Dion has shed tears as she opened up about husband Rene Angelil’s battle with throat cancer.

The singer, 46, cleared her calendar of all performances to focus on her family last year.

Now she has told ABC News: “He can’t eat so I feed him.

“He’s got a feeding tube. I have to feed him three times a day.”

Celine and Rene, 73, have been married since 1994 and have three sons, Rene Charles, 14, and four-year-old twins Eddy and Nelson together.

“We are taking life one day at a time,” she said. “[But] we are choosing to live.”

The singer will resume her residency at Caesars Palace Las Vegas in late August with a new act.
