He is his other half, the great love of his life.
Six years after the death of René Angélil, on January 14, 2016 from throat cancer, Celine Dion's pain does not weaken.
Thus, to mark the six years of this very special anniversary, the Quebec singer posted, this Friday, January 14, a moving tribute on her Instagram account.
A declaration of love, accompanied by a black and white photo.
"I would be lying if I said I'm fine," she wrote in the comments.
And to continue: “I think of you at least a hundred times, because in the echo of my voice I hear your words as if you were there … I miss you” A heartbreaking confession, which did not fail to move the 4.9 million fans that the singer has on the social network.
“Forever in our hearts”, “I send you my prayers and strength”, can we read in particular under the publication.
A sentence that is added to another.
Because Celine Dion has been rather discreet lately, because of her health.
Indeed, the interpreter of
Courage
, his thirty-seventh album released in 2019, had not been able to assume his eponymous tour last December.
In a press release, she explained to suffer from “severe and persistent muscle spasms”.
