Celine Dion shares tribute to late husband on anniversary of death
Celine Dion has paid tribute to her late husband René Angélil on the ninth anniversary of his death.
The legendary Canadian singer took to her official Instagram yesterday (January 15) to share a photo of her and her three sons all dressed in shades of white and beige while sitting on a red sofa in what appears to be a back garden.
She took the time to pay tribute to her husband, Angélil who died in January 2016 at the age of 73 after battling throat cancer. “René, we can’t believe you’ve been gone nine years already,” began the caption of her post.
She continued: “Not a day goes by that we don’t feel your presence, RC, Eddy, Nelson and I. You were my greatest champion, my partner, and the one who always saw the best in me. I honor you and you are forever missed mon amour…We love you. – Celine xx…”
Dion and Angélil met when the singer was 12 years old while the producer and Dion’s manager was 38. The two began dating seven years later. They were married in December 1994 at the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal and share three children, an older son and a pair of twins.
The ‘It’s All Coming Back To Me’ hitmaker also shared a post on her Instagram last month to celebrate her and Angélil’s 30th wedding anniversary.
In other news, Mk.gee previously covered Dion’s ‘My Heart Will Go On’ at his sold-out show in Philadelphia.
Recently, Dion paid tribute to her late “cherished mentor” Quincy Jones, sharing: “I was privileged to work with Quincy, it was a dream come true. In our sessions, his musical intuition was nothing short of profound – he helped me capture ‘a little piece of heaven.’ Quincy always knew exactly what each song needed.
“In addition to his kindness and countless achievements, I also admired him for his philanthropic work which benefited the arts, global famine and underprivileged youth. His reach truly extends to all corners of the globe!”
