Celine  revealed she wanted to offer the song to the crowd and to all her fans worldwide in the hope it could help them heal following the devastating losses in Manchester and London.

She told the crowd at the 02 Arena 10th anniversary show: "For a moment last year during the most difficult time of grieving the loss of my husband Rene, I received an unexpected gift from someone that I admire tremendously.

"She’s an amazing performer and you know her very well, her name is Pink."

She continued: "I don’t write my own songs so Pink wrote a song for me that expresses the power to stand up and stay strong in any situation.

"All of us here have lost loved ones, those who are near and dear to us, especially in the past several weeks here in London and across the UK where tragedy has devastated us in a way we cannot understand.
