After the farewell millennium concert on 31 December 1999 in Montreal , Dion decided to take a break from the public scene for two years to focus on her family . On 25 January 2001 , she gave birth to René-Charles Angelil , her first son . Since then , she had performed publicly only a handful of times , including 21 September 2001 , when she sang a live rendition of " God Bless America " at the '' America : A Tribute to Heroes '' telethon honoring victims of the September 11 attacks , and 28 September for Montreal 's companion fund-raiser , '' A Show for Life '' , singing " L'amour existe encore "
