Celine Dion: Pale & Somber In First Pic After Husband Rene Angelil’s Death — See Photo
Poor Celine
Dion! We’re getting our first look at the singer who just had two heartbreaking losses,
with both her husband and brother dying of cancer in a matter of days, and she
looks understandably devastated.
So sad! Brave Celion
Dion was spotted getting on a plane to fly out of Las Vegas and back home
to Montreal, Canada where her late husband Rene Angelil’s funeral will
take place on Jan. 22. She lost her “one and only boyfriend” to a long battle
with throat cancer on Jan. 14 at age 73.
Wearing minimal
make up with her hair pulled back in a tight bun. Her long black sweater
and trim black leggings show she’s still in mourning for her husband of 21
years. But the “Because You Loved Me” singer was still able to muster up hugs
from several friends at the airport. We’re sure she’s going to be getting
plenty more as she returns home for Rene’s service.
Rene’s memorial
will be in a place once filled with joyous memories for Celine, as it
will be held at
the Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, the church where the couple had their
lavish wedding in 1994. We’re sure she’ll need the love and support of her
parents and her 12 surviving siblings as she says goodbye to Rene in his
private service.
Her
former manager and one true love knew his time was coming and handled much of
the preparations in advance. “René was generous enough to prepare all of
this since the last few months with Céline,” Celine’s stylist and longtime
friend Annie Horth told PEOPLE. “He didn’t
know when it would happen, but he really wanted everything to be already
prepared,” adding “Because of Rene’s planning, Celine is going through [this]
peacefully and with control.”
Our
thoughts go out to Celine and her family during this difficult time.
The pain of loss is always a hard pill to swallow. My heartfelt condolences to Celine Dion and her family.
