As the interpreter of the theme song "My Heart Is Eternal" of "Titanic", Celine Dion shocked the world with her unique singing voice and infected countless fans. Her rousing voice often brings tears to your eyes. She was fortunate enough to perform "Jasmine" with Song Zuying at the Spring Festival Gala, making her music more familiar to Chinese audiences. However, in recent years, after we learned that the 55-year-old legendary singer was suffering from a rare disease, her physical condition has deteriorated.
Last year, Celine announced the cancellation of her entire world tour and released a worrying video in December of the same year. She revealed that she was suffering from a rare disease called "stiff person syndrome", which causes muscle spasms that affect walking and pronunciation, causing a lot of trouble in her daily life. The incidence of this disease is only 1 in 1 million, and the cause is still unknown. Despite this, Celine remains true to her commitment, working closely with the top medical team, and looks forward to returning to the stage.
Recently, according to foreign media reports, Celine Dion's sister Kraudt publicly expressed concern about Celine's recent situation. She said that Celine had lost control of her muscles throughout her body, and despite her best efforts to find a cure, her health was not improving. In fact, as early as 7 years ago, Celine's partner Renny Angeli died of throat cancer. In addition, since Paris Fashion Week 2019, Celine's figure has gradually lost weight, and the Internet is full of malicious remarks, and some people use very ugly words to describe her thin appearance. In such a predicament, Celine still responded strongly: "I'm fine, no need to say more!"
Despite the challenges of her life, Celine never gave up hope, and she had the full support of her family, which made her determined to return to the stage. So far, Celine has won 5 Grammy Awards, 12 World Music Awards, 7 Billboard Awards and 21 Juno Awards, and her albums have sold more than 250 million copies, and she has also set two album sales records of more than 30 million, which can be described as a pioneer in the global music industry.
Looking back on the musical path of Celine Dion, who has the courage to take on challenges, she is a singer who loves music deeply and bravely challenges difficult performances. Although her life was full of hardships, it was full of applause and glory. She was born into a poor family in Quebec, Canada, with 14 children. Despite her modest family, Celine grew up in an environment full of laughter and music. She began performing at her parents' piano bar at a young age and showed exceptional musical talent.
In 1980, 12-year-old Celine successfully completed her first song "It's Just a Dream" with the support and encouragement of her family. Her sweet, mature voice filled the room and immediately caught her brother's attention. He quickly sent a sample of the song to the famous music agent Rennie Angeli. Fascinated by this precious opportunity, Rainey immediately invited Celine to his office for an audition.
Rainey and Celine first met in a spacious and bright office. Rennie, who was already middle-aged at the time, personally handed Celine a beautiful pencil and motioned for her to use it as a microphone to sing. When Celine's passionate singing echoed through the room, Rainey was completely absorbed in it. From that moment on, no matter what the cost, he was determined to help young Celine on the road to success.
With her extraordinary musical talent, Celine only took a few months to make her mark on the artistic path. She first successfully released a number of emotionally charged French albums, which quickly won the hearts of French listeners. Then, accompanied by Rainey, she traveled to various singing competitions around the world, accumulated valuable stage experience, and worked hard to learn English Xi to expand the English song market.
Eventually, in 1990, her debut English-language album, Unison, became an instant sensation and sales soared. At the same time, the album also won many important honors such as "Album of the Year" and "Best Female Singer of the Year" at the 21st Juno Awards, becoming the first female artist in the history of French-speaking Canada to win this award. Two years later, in 1992, at the age of 24, Celine once again showed her exceptional talent by singing the theme song "Beauty And The Beast" for the then hit Disney animated film "Beauty and the Beast", a move that made her a global sensation and fame.
Back in 1997, it was a decisive year for Celine. It was in that year that she sang the classic theme song "My Heart Will Go On" from the movie "Titanic", which took her music career to new heights and became a high-profile superstar in the international music scene.
However, side by side with Celine's brilliant career, there is also her passionate love. Maybe it was the years of companionship that made her have a deep affection for Rainey, or maybe the dream of chasing music together made them form an indissoluble bond, in short, Celine had fallen in love with Rainey who had always been by her side as early as she was young. Although Rainey has been through two marriages, has three children, and is a full 26 years older than Celine, this does not stop Celine from bravely facing all doubts and publicly declaring her deep affection for Rainey. Even though her mother had come to strongly oppose it, in the end, the sincere and pure love between them was unstoppable.
