CELINE DION has been hiding a devastating medical nightmare – her beloved husband, Rene Angelil, recently suffered a second bout of cancer.
The ENQUIRER learned that just before Christmas, the 72-year-old secretly underwent surgery to have a cancerous tumor removed from his throat.
Celine, 45, spoke to The ENQUIRE R through her rep, and she is working to keep Rene, her manager, free from the stress of running her career.
“I don’t want Rene to stress out with work-related issues. I want him to focus on getting back to 100 percent,” said the singer.
“At home we’ve been spending a lot of quality time with the family. We feel very fortunate that we’ve been able to get the best care possible and we thank God every day for helping us to get through this ordeal.”
