Celine Dion’s bro Daniel no more

He was treated at a hospital in the Quebec city, and passed away on Saturday morning (16Jan16), Celine’s publicist Francine Chaloult confirmed.

Dion was suffering from brain, tongue and throat cancer.

Her husband and former manager, Rene Angelil, died on Thursday aged 73. Angelil was her manager for decades, molding her from a French-speaking Canadian ingénue into one of the world’s most successful singers.

She has not made any recent comments on the site about her brother.

Earlier in the week Celine Dion lost her husband to throat cancer.

“He will be remembered as a gentle man, generous and kind, an unprecedented visionary, a modern Pygmalion, a Renaissance man”, she said in a Facebook post. “He is 59 years old, very young to be the end of life”.
