Continuing to speak about her late husband with Dan Wootton, Celine revealed: ‘I feel extremely fortunate I had him as a husband and he gave me three children. I see him through them every day.

‘My 16 yr old loves music. When I hand him my demos, he tells me this is a great song if you do it like this – or work with this producer.

‘My son is helping me discover the new generation. I like that. I want to experiment.’

Talking about her new music, Celine also confessed singer Sia had written her three songs for her forthcoming material.
