"It's important to open your eyes in the morning and look at yourself in the mirror and ask two questions: 'Are you dead, or do you have a ticket to ride?'" she asked fans. "There are just two tickets. If you're alive, have a good day. Because today is the most important day of your life."
Meanwhile, just one day after Angelil's passing, Dion's brother passed away from cancer as well.
