Celine Dion brother died days after husband

-

Celine Dion's brother has died of cancer just two days after she lost her husband to the disease, a family spokesman has confirmed.

Dion's older brother Daniel Dion, 59, passed away a day after it was revealed he had just days to live.

He was one of the Canadian singer's 13 siblings.

Dion's husband and manager Rene Angelil died on Thursday, the day before his 74th birthday, after a long battle with throat cancer.
Singer Celine Dion and her husband Rene Angelil arrive at the 83rd Academy Awards at the 83rd Academy Awards in Hollywood in 2011.

Celine Dion lost her husband Rene Angeli on Thursday

The 73-year-old, who passed away at his suburban Las Vegas home, will be laid to rest on 22 January at the same cathedral where the couple married.

A post on Dion's official website read: "According to his final wishes, his funeral will be held at Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, where 21 years ago he chose to marry the one who will remain as the great love of his life, the artist for which he had the most respect, the woman who gave him light and happiness until his very last breath."

Dion, 47, and Angelil had three children together - Rene-Charles, who was born in 2001 and twins Nelson and Eddy, who were born in 2010.

The couple, who were 26 years apart in age, got married in an elaborate ceremony in 1994 at Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal.

Angelil stepped down as his wife's manager in 2014, turning her career over to a friend of the couple.

However, he remained involved in business decisions.

Dion has won a number of Grammy awards during her successful career, including for the Titanic theme My Heart Will Go On.
