Celine Dion: Two Days After She Lost Her Husband To Cancer, Her Brother Dies Of Cancer Again

Celine Dion’s brother Daniel has died aged 59 after losing his battle with cancer, just two days after the singer’s husband also passed away. Daniel Dion died this morning, just a day after his family revealed that they believed he had just hours to live.

Celine’s husband René Angélil died from throat cancer aged 73 on Thursday. Daniel had been suffering from throat, brain and tongue cancer. He was in hospital in Celine’s native Montreal and surrounded by his family, including 88-year-old mother Therese. ‘They’re close, she’s close with all of her siblings,’ a source told the Montreal Gazette. ‘It’s hard.’

‘Céline is still in Vegas with her kids making plans for [her husband’s] funeral,’ a source told People following the difficult loss. ‘It’s a typical grieving process. There’s moments of shed tears, moments of memories and laughter.’ His funeral will take place at St-Simon-et-Jude de Charlemagne Church in Repentigny, Quebec, CBC reported. ‘His last days were in the wonderful care of the doctors and personnel at Maison Adhémar-Dion, a palliative care center in Terrebonne Québec,’ Daniel’s obituary read. ‘For those wishing to send flowers, a donation to that organization would be very much appreciated.’

It also read: ‘Battling cancer for a few years, it’s in the uttermost discretion and surrounded by his family that Daniel Dion, 59, died today, January 16. He was the eighth child of Thérèse and Adhémar Dion, brother of Céline.’

‘In sadness and grief, he leaves a large family headed by their mother, Thérèse Tanguay-Dion; his daughters Valérie (Patrick Goyette) and Marie-Michelle; his grandchildren Matis and Laurianne (Valérie); his brothers and sisters Denise (Yvon Dodier), Clément (Denise Dumont), Claudette (Serge Gaudet) Liette (Guy Poirier) Michel (Danièle Corbeil), Louise (Pierre Tremblay), Jacques (Geneviève Garceau), Ghislaine (Jacques Talbot), Linda (Alain Sylvestre), Manon, Paul, Pauline (Marc Martel) and Céline (René Angélil). As well as many nieces and nephews, cousins and friends, who are remembering a gentle and reserved man of many talents.’

On Friday, Celine’s sister Claudette had told the Journal Of Montreal: ‘It’s very painful. It’s a matter of days or hours. It looks a lot like René, he had cancer of the throat, tongue and brain. Our family is very experienced.’ The star will resume performances on February 23, but she announced on Facebook on Friday that she will host a celebration of his life at the Las Vegas Colosseum on February 3.

René was Celine’s manager before they got together. They first met when she was 12 and he was 38, and began dating seven years later. Angélil’s funeral will take place on January 23 at Notre-Dame Basilica in his hometown of Montreal – the same cathedral where the couple wed in 1994. A public viewing will be held the day before.
