Celine Dion has spoken out about caring for her sick husband Rene Angelil in an emotional interview with ABC News.

He’s suffered from cancer since 1999, and had a tumour removed from his throat in 2010.

Celine has put her career on hold indefinitely to look after Rene and their three children, though she’s expected to return to her Las Vegas residence this summer.

    Wiping away tears, Celine told ABC News’ Deborah Roberts:

    “The fans, they know that I'm an open book. I sing. That's the only thing I know."

    "[Rene] can't use his mouth. He can’t eat, so I feed him. He’s got a feeding tube. I have to feed him three times a day. I do this myself, and so I feed my husband and feed my kids."

    "We are taking life one day at a time… [but] we are choosing to live."

    Celine, you are one caring lady. We hope Rene gets better soon.
