Then marrying her. Tonight Celine Dion mourns the passing of her husband, mentor, and manager, Rene angelil.

Amgelil passed away on Thursday, January 14, after battling throat cancer for several years.

LAS VEGAS (AP) – Rene Angelil, Celine Dion’s husband and manager, who molded her from a French-speaking Canadian ingénue into one of the world’s most successful singers, died Thursday after a long battle with throat cancer, officials and family members said.

He is survived by Dion and their three children, Rene-Charles (14) and 5 year old twins Eddy and Nelson.

Dion also said that she felt it was her duty to be strong and continue to work, as Angelil did not want her to put her career on hold.

Celine kisses her husband as they draw tickets to give away prizes to audience members at the end of the 500th performance of Dion’s “A New Day” show.

In 2000, Rene Angelil’s cancer went into remission, and he was given the all-clear from doctors, and Celine Dion’s life returned to normal. But as she told ABC’s Deborah Roberts the disease would soon return.

A source told People magazine: “We knew what he was up against, but he had good days and bad days”.
