An emotional Celine Dion, who previously announced she’s putting her career on hold to take care of her sick husband (read here) told ABC News in a new interview set to air Wednesday, Mar. 25, that her husband Rene Angelil, has to eat through a feeding tube due to his ongoing battle with throat cancer.

A video preview from her sit-down chat featured the singing sensation wiping away tears and opening up about her choice to put her career on hold because of her husband’s deteriorating health condition. Speaking on Angelil’s painful battle with throat cancer, Dion 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, and so I feed my husband and feed my kids.”

Dion and Angelil, 73, married in 1994, and share three sons together: Rene-Charles, 14, and twins Eddy and Nelson, 4.

Angelil was first diagnosed with cancer in 1999, and underwent a procedure in December 2013 to remove a tumor from his throat.
