Céline has been ill since 2008

It seems that Céline Dion's health problems are nothing new, according to her exclusive interview with NBC.

Indeed, Céline reveals in her interview with Hoda Kotb that she has in fact been experiencing serious health problems since 2008, i.e. since the Taking Chances (!) tour, and that she “couldn't take it anymore”.

Céline also mentions René Angélil's fight for her life, and we can imagine that the news of his illness and death had a major impact on the health of her protégée and wife.
