Addressing the audience, Dion shared a personal anecdote about comparing herself to an apple, symbolizing her desire to always offer her best to her fans.
She recounted a touching message from a fan affirming their support for her truth rather than perfection.
Touched by the moment, Dion wiped away tears, later assisted by her son René-Charles.
After expressing her appreciation for her friends and the audience, Dion concluded her speech with a heartfelt promise of more to come, receiving a standing ovation.
