Celine Dion is worth a staggering $720 million, but all the money in the world couldn’t give the singer what she wants most – continued health for her beloved husband René Angélil.
In mid-August, sources told The National ENQUIRER that behind the scenes René, 72, was losing his years-long battle with cancer and a distraught Celine rushed to his bedside, immediately canceling all her showbiz commitments.
“Celine was grief-stricken over René’s condition,” said a friend.
“He was fading and she immediately stopped her schedule – determined to be by his side as long as possible.
“All the money in the world can’t keep him living.”
As The ENQUIRER reported in March, the 46-year-old songbird “was heartbroken,” and terrified to learn her husband had been hit with a second bout of cancer.
