The 48-year-old performed live on television for the first time since the death of her husband and gave a moving rendition of Queen’s The Show Must Go On.
After her performance, her 15-year-old son appeared and she began to cry as she was overcome with emotion.
It comes just four months after the death of her husband René Angelil and her brother Daniel, who both tragically died of cancer.
As she accepted the award, she apologised for crying: “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry for crying. I want to be so strong for my family and kids.
“Most especially I want to thank the fans for travelling through the music with me in good and bad times.”
Celine also paid tribute to her late husband, as she thanked him: “My beloved husband whom I know will continue to watch over me from up above.
The singer looked fabulous at the awards as she performed in a floor-length glittering gown, with a thigh-high split.
She teamed her dazzling dress with diamond bracelets and drop earrings to add an extra touch of glamour to her look.
