On Monday night, over 1,000 of Céline Dion’s biggest fans gathered at Lincoln Center in New York City to all cry together. Perhaps the most emotional attendee at the event: Dion herself.
At the premiere of her new documentary, I Am: Céline Dion, which will be available to stream June 25 on Prime Video, the singer took the stage to a screaming standing ovation. Tears began flowing in the audience before Dion even began speaking, with Dion visibly moved by the response. The applause and cheering lasted a full minute before Dion was able to speak.
“This is by far the biggest crowd I’ve had in a few years,” she said. Someone in the crowd shouted in response, “We love you,” after which Dion got immediately choked up and said, “I missed that.”
