Celine Dion's husband died

January 14, 2016 in his home in Los Angeles died husband and producer of Canadian singer Celine Dion Rene Angel. The couple was together for almost 30 years.

The love story of Celine Dion and her husband

Acquaintance of the couple occurred when Celine was only 12 years old, and her future spouse - already 38. The girl with the help of her mother recorded her voice on tape and sent it to the producer, whose name and address Teresa Dion (Celine's mother) found on the back of one of the musical disks. Renee drew attention to the enormous song talent and invited the girl to work with him. To find funds for the first professional recording of Celine Dion, he had to lay his house.

Relations between the singer and the producer began only after 7 years, by that time Renee was still not free. However, he soon announced his divorce. At first, Celine Dion and Rene Angelil hid their relations from the public, because they feared that the singer's fans would not understand and accept such a union, because the age difference was very high. However, all the secret sooner or later becomes apparent, and the novel is nevertheless learned.

Four years after the beginning of the relationship, the couple announces an engagement . The wedding of Rene Angelila and Celine Dion took place on December 17, 1994.

The happiness of family life lasted several years, and the couple even renewed their vows in 2000, but soon Celine and Renee suffered a misfortune. Then Rene Angelila first discovered cancer of the larynx . And that time Celine Dion could lose her husband. In order to be at home with her husband, the singer announced the end of the concert activity, she herself took care of Renee. He underwent an operation that proved to be quite successful, and the disease receded for a long time.

After such a terrible disease, there was relative calm, and Celine and Renee managed to even become parents twice, although it was not too easy. For this, the singer had to resort to the help of doctors and undergo an IVF procedure. But all the efforts were successful, and in 2001 Renee Charles appeared, and nine years later - in 2010 - the twins Nelson and Eddie.

Death of her husband Celine Dion

However, in 2013 it became known that the husband Celine Dion again has cancer. He had a relapse of the disease, which seemed to have receded. Just like a few years ago Celine announced the end of the concert performances, she hoped that her love and care would help to overcome the terrible disease again.

But this did not happen, and on January 14, 2016, at the age of 73, Rene Angelil, husband of Celine Dion, died. The message about this appeared on the page of a star in one of the social networks along with a request to respect the singer's personal life and feelings of her relatives and not cause too much excitement around this news. As it became clear later, husband Celine Dion died in their home in Los Angeles in the arms of his wife and in the presence of the closest relatives. In recent days, he could not eat on his own, and the singer had to feed him several times a day with a special tube. Renee did not live to see his 74th birthday just a few days.

And almost immediately, just two days after the news that Celine Dion's husband died of cancer, it became known that another serious tragedy occurred in the singer's family: her elder brother died. The cause of death was also cancer of the larynx, tongue and brain. Because of the preparation for the funeral of her husband, Celine Dion was unable to attend her farewell to her brother, but with him was the elder sister of the singer (and, in all, Celine Dion has 13 brothers and sisters) and her mother.
