"I appreciate each and every one of you. You mean the world to me," she said to the audience.

When I express my delight in being present here, my words come straight from the depths of my heart. Those who have the good fortune to attend the Grammy Awards must always remember the immense love and happiness that music bestows upon us and upon people across the globe and not let it go unappreciated.

Dion expressed her affection towards the audience by saying 'I love you too'.

Despite the hardships, Dion has reassured her supporters that she has an excellent group of medical professionals who are doing everything possible to aid in her recovery. Nonetheless, she has acknowledged that it's been a difficult journey.
