Celine has been resident at the The Colosseum since 2003 and performed nearly 1000 shows there, but this show was different.
Performing to a sold-out crowd the show opened with a touching video of Celine's late husband René Angélil, as a tribute to the loving husband and father.
It was then during the performance of Celine's 1996 power ballad, 'All By Myself' that it all became too much for the 47-year-old singer.
Standing in the middle of the stage wearing a stunning floor-length gold dress, she began to choke on her words before breaking down as the orchestra behind her carried on.
As the crowd cheered in sympathy Celine managed to muster a words for the very end, before punching the air and walking off the stage.
René who was the master behind Celine's residency, had been married to the singer for 21 years.
