Fighting a brave new battle with cancer, CELINE DION’s 72-year-old husband René Angélil has had part of his tongue removed and has undergone more than 130 radiation treatments.
The critical surgery reportedly took place last December, and “Las Vegas Sun” gossip columnist Robin Leach, a longtime friend, disclosed: “René was unable to swallow or eat for a time, and Celine believed he would die.”
Last month, the devoted wife and showbiz legend announced she was putting her career on hold to be at her husband’s side, and recently she revealed poignant details of the family crisis.
