 Céline Marie Claudette Dion CC (born 30 March 1968) is one of the most popular Canadian singers of all time. Dion was born and raised in Quebec, the Canadian province whose majority of populace speak French. Thus, she spent her early years speaking and singing only French. Met her future husband, music manager René Angélil in 1981, who became her manager for the rest of his life (at least until he officially stepped down as his health deteriorated later on). She made her first English recording in 1985 (and recorded in German as early as 1983), but didn't learn to speak the language until several years later. In 1990, with a slew of awards already under her belt in Canada and internationally, she released her first English album, and to this day has maintained successful careers singing in both French and English and has recorded in several other languages, including Spanish and even Japanese. Married René in 1994 and lived happily together along with three sons despite the two's age difference until René passing due to throat cancer on January 14, 2016, 21 years into their marriage.Her first American single, "Where Does My Heart Beat Now," hit strongly, and she attracted even more attention through her Oscar- and Grammy-winning theme song to Disney's 1991 animated classic Beauty and the Beast, but it was a pair of movie themes later in the '90s that made her a true household name: "Because You Loved Me" from Up Close and Personal and "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic (1997). In the UK, her 1994 hit "Think Twice" became one of the biggest selling singles of all time despite flopping in North America. She's also dabbled in acting, appearing as herself on shows like Touched by an Angel and taking a dramatic role in Des fleurs sur la neige (Flowers Under the Snow), a 1991 Radio-Canada miniseries. She has stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and on Canada's Walk of Fame.Céline had her heart set on international stardom from the beginning, and it in fact began even before she could speak a word of English. Before she was old enough to drive, she'd already won an award at the Yamaha Popular Song Festival in Tokyo and become the first Canadian to earn a gold record in France. Then she represented Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest 1988, winning with the song "Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi".note Meaning "Don't Leave Without Me"; she also recorded the song in German as "Hand in Hand". She's never performed it since.After cancelling several 2022 shows due to severe and persistent muscle spasms, Celine would announce in 8 of December of the same year that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that affects the nervous system.Dion made her big-screen acting debut in Love Again, where she plays a fictionalized version of herself.
