The singer, who postponed all of her upcoming shows at Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas for a year last August to care for her ailing husband, who was diagnosed with throat cancer in December 2013, says he now gets all of his meals through a tube.
The 46-year-old singer said: ”He 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. So I feed my husband, then I feed my kids.”
But the Canadian star, who has 14-year-old son René Charles and four-year-old twin boys, Eddy and Nelson, with her 73-year-old former manager, insists she hasn’t given up hope that he will recover.
She told ABC News: ”We are taking life one day at a time. [But] we are choosing to live.”
During the emotional interview, which aired on Good Morning America this morning, Celine also opened up about her decision to step-back from her stage show until next August. She said: ”Oh, I mean come on. The fans, they know that I’m an open book. I sing, that’s the only thing I know.”
