Love! Love always wins,’ she wrote in her memoir, via People.René later died in 2016 — just two days before he would have turned 74 — from throat cancer.Their son René-Charles later delivered the eulogy at his father’s funeral just three days shy of his 15th birthday. René’s death preceded a second tragedy for the My Heart Will Go On singer, as her brother Daniel died of cancer two days later at age 59, on what would have been her husband’s birthday.Céline’s career has lately slowed following her admission in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome.The condition causes a person’s muscles to become increasingly tense and stiff over time, which can lead to chronic pain and impaired mobility.That muscle tension can also make it difficult for a singer like Dion to properly perform.
