Rene Angelil long time manager and husband of multi grammy award winner Celine Dion, died at the early hours of today, at age 73.
Rene was first diagnosed with throat cancer in 1999 but it returned several times and has since battled with the ailment in the past years. His condition became serious in March last year and this made Celine to take leave of work, as well as her absence from her Las Vegas show at Caesars Palace. As the condition became bad he couldn't eat normally from his mouth but through a tube and his wife personally fed him three times a day with a lot of concentration even more than she fed her kids
By August, Celine said her husband was preparing for his death. His final wish was to be with the singer when he passed awayaway. Recalling their conversation, she said:
'I'll say, 'You're scared? I understand. Talk to me about it.'
'And René says to me,
'I want to die in your arms.' OK, fine, I'll be there, you'll die in my arms. Celine married her manager Rene in 1994, they have children together...a 14-year-old and 5-year-old twins. He also has 3 other children from his previous marriage.
Speaking to Taste of Life magazine, Celine - who was raised a Roman Catholic - revealed: 'Life is not always perfect. You have to deal with it. Whatever life imposes - sickness, or whatever, you don't have a choice. This is life, this is nature. But you do have the choice on how you're going to go through this.
'And if you don't have spirituality you're going to fall apart before things happen. I am very spiritual. I believe in myself, I believe in my family, and I'm positive. Through this, you show your children how to deal with things, and how to be strong.
Rene and Celine were one sweet couple whose marriage survived celebrity couple craze. May his soul rest in peace and may his family be comforted.
