Dion marked what would have been her and Angélil's 30th wedding anniversary in December, sharing photos from the day they said \"I do\" in 1994 and signing the post from her and her sons.

Angélil, who was Dion's longtime manager in addition to her husband, died in January 2016 at the age of 73 following a yearslong battle with throat cancer.

Dion opened up about her life and career -- as well as her battle with stiff-person syndrome, a rare autoimmune neurological disorder -- in the documentary \"I Am: Celine Dion,\" which was released in June.
