became famous at a young age, and the star journey was smooth
Born in 1968 to a large family in Quebec, Canada, Celine Dion is the 14th child in the family, and has shown extraordinary musical talent since childhood. When she was 12 years old, her family sent a sample of her song to her music manager, Rennie Angeli, who at first didn't believe it was sung by a young girl, until they were deeply shocked by her singing after meeting, and they did not hesitate to mortgage their house to release her first album and gain market recognition.

It is said that when Cameron invited Celine Dion to sing "My Heart Is Eternal", he was rejected at first. It was Rennie who keenly sniffed the opportunity and persuaded Celine Dion to accept the invitation. Under the affectionate interpretation of Celine Dion, this melodious, poignant and heart-wrenching song has brought countless audiences to tears.
I can't keep my lover by trying my best
Celine Dion reached the pinnacle of her singing career, but her life began to take a sharp turn for the worse at this time. In 1999, Rainey was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer. On December 31 of that year, Celine Dion held a New Year's Eve concert in Montreal, announcing that she would take a break from the music scene and take care of her husband. In the last seconds of the millennium, on stage at the Morson Center, Celine Dion kissed his lover Rennie.
In order to have a child with Rennie, Celine Dion underwent artificial insemination, endured a lot of hardships, and finally gave birth to her eldest son in 2001. Rainey also stabilized after 38 rounds of chemotherapy.
In 2002, Celine Dion returned to the music scene and released her seventh English album "A New Day is Coming". There is also a song "I Surrender" that has to be mentioned in this album, which has been covered by singers around the world, and singer Lin Zhixuan has also covered the Chinese version of "Never Left".
In order to keep her family company, Celine Dion was reluctant to tour the world as before, and in 2003, she signed a five-year residency contract with Caesars Palace Hotel in Las Vegas. A total of 732 performances were held in the past five years, grossing nearly $400 million at the box office. It's no wonder locals say that Las Vegas' economy owes half to the casinos and half to Celine Dion.
But this contract is tantamount to a "deed of sale" in the eyes of many people, because she must hold concerts on the same stage at least four nights a week, and the intensity is so high that it is an overdraft for physical strength and vocal bands. A few years later, she ventured to give birth to twins, and her health was even worse than before.
In 2011, Celine Dion continued to return to Caesars Palace to sing. In 2013, Celine Dion sang "My Heart is Eternal" on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and sang the song "Jasmine" with Song Zuying. This cross-border palace-level cooperation has become an unforgettable memory of the Spring Festival Gala for many people.

However, affection and dedication did not pay for the favor of fate, Rainey's cancer recurred and deteriorated rapidly, and he died in 2016, in the church where the two were married, Celine Dion bid farewell to her husband and kissed him deeply on his coffin.
Just two days after Rainey's departure, Celine Dion received the bad news again, and her brother Daniel also died of cancer. She put on the same black dress again, covered with a black veil, and hurried to her brother's memorial service with several children.
Celine Dion has not let go of her husband's departure to this day, and every year she will send old photos on Rainey's death day to express her longing: "If I say I'm fine, then I'm lying, I think of you at least a hundred times." On various talk shows, she has also said more than once: "I'm still in love." I've lived with Rainey all my life, and he's still in my heart. I see him every day through the eyes of children..."
Afflicted by illness
During her 40-year career, Celine Dion has won numerous awards, including 2 Academy Awards, 5 Grammy Awards, 6 American Music Awards, and 4 Billboard Music Awards. But in addition to the aura of fame and wealth, the death of her beloved and overwork have caused irreparable damage to her body.
In 2018, Celine Dion said she was going to have a "minor ear surgery." It was then that people learned that she had been suffering from "Eustachian tube abnormal opening syndrome" for many years. This condition causes hearing abnormalities and patients often feel nervous. Many fans believe that it was the intense performances day in and day out that damaged her hearing system.
However, the blows followed, and in December 2022, 54-year-old Celine Dion candidly told fans in a video that she was suffering from a rare disease, "stiff person syndrome". The disease usually causes "progressive, severe muscle stiffness, cramps of the lower limbs and back" and occurs in about 1 in a million.
In the video, she tries to keep smiling, holding back tears, even if the beauty is twilight, she is still dignified and elegant. She told everyone that muscle spasms "affected every aspect of my daily life and sometimes caused me to have difficulty walking and not being able to sing with my vocal cords as I used to." ”
In August this year, Celine Dion's sister Claude Dion said in an interview that her sister's condition was like the feeling of suddenly jumping up with leg cramps at night, but any muscle could attack at any time, and now almost no one can relieve her sister's pain.
Celine Dion went to a hockey game with her children just over a month ago, and this rare appearance made fans think that her condition was improving, but they didn't expect disappointing news to come in the past two days. Claudet told the outlet, "She can't control her muscles anymore. It breaks my heart that she has always been very disciplined and has been working very hard. Claudet added that the vocal cords are muscles, and so is the heart, "and we hope that she will return to the stage." In what capacity? I don't know. ”
In the first half of his life, he had a smooth career in the stars, but in the second half of his life, he suffered one blow after another, and even Celine Dion said: "My life is like a book, maybe there is more than one, maybe it can be made into a movie." Whether she returns to the stage or not, she has already become a legend of world pop music, and her passion and dedication to love and singing career have truly achieved "my heart is eternal".
