Céline Dion Honors Late Husband René Angélil With Emotional Tribute On Ninth Anniversary Of His Death

On Tuesday (January 14), Céline Dion took to Instagram to pay tribute to her late husband René Angélil on the ninth anniversary of his death. The Canadian singer shared a Christmastime photograph of herself surrounded by their three sons, while she affectionately remembered Angélil, who died of throat cancer in 2016 at the age of 73. “René, we can’t believe you’ve been gone nine years already,” Dion wrote. “Not a day goes by that we don’t feel your presence, RC, Eddy, Nelson and I. You were my greatest champion, my partner, and the one who always saw the best in me. I honor you and you are forever missed mon amour…. We love you.” Dion retreated from the public spotlight in recent years following her diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome in 2022, but she delivered a triumphant performance at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony last summer, singing Édith Piaf’s “The Hymn to Love” from the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower.
