With a career spanning nearly forty years and over 250 million albums sold, Celine Dion, who has long hidden from the media spotlight, has decided to make a comeback and talks to Vogue about her fame and determination to never give up. “I have not defeated the disease as it is still in me and always will be. I hope we find a miracle, some way to cure it with scientific research, but for now I have to learn to live with it,” says Dion in her first interview in a long time. Asked about the possibility of returning to the stage, the singer says that she is unable to answer this question.
“I don’t know. My body will tell me,” shared Dion in the interview, accompanied by several photos of her dressed for the occasion by top French designers.
In early February, Celine Dion made a surprise brief appearance at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles to present the top prize for album of the year to Taylor Swift.
The Quebec star has not been on stage since a concert in Newark, USA, in March 2020. Her Courage World Tour was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2021, the singer has been suffering from Stiff Man Syndrome. Affecting approximately one person in a million, this syndrome causes severe pain and difficulty in movement that prevents the performance of physically demanding activities.
In late January, Amazon Prime Video announced it was releasing a documentary about the singer, I Am: Celine Dion, in which she wants to “raise awareness” of her illness.
Dion also recently appeared on Vogue France, where she discussed how her style has changed over her decade-long career.
“I wouldn’t say that I collaborate with designers, as that would be very pretentious of me. On the other hand, I can say that my whole life my mother has mended my tights, sweaters, coats and gloves, all my things for the winter. I was very lucky because I had 13 siblings and I got everyone’s clothes handmade. After my first album in English I was able to buy clothes from designers and started reading fashion magazines,” she continues, discussing the early years from his career after releasing his first English-language album, Unison, in 1990. “I treated myself to a Lagerfeld jacket the same way people treat themselves to diamonds.”
Over the past few decades, Celine Dion has become known as the “Queen of Las Vegas” because of her successful performances there. She was born on March 30, 1968 in the Canadian city of Quebec and is the youngest of 14 children in her musical family.
When she was only 12 years old, she met René Angélil, her future husband, who liked her demo recording (Ce n`etait qu`un reve, composed by her mother Thérèse) and agreed to finance her first album. They began working together in 1980, and Celine shared that she felt different feelings for him when she was 17. The two gradually fell in love and became a couple when the singer was 19 and Rene was 45. They marriage in 1994 in the Basilica of Notre-Dame, and the event was very expensive and large-scale and was even broadcast on Canadian television. Celine and Rene were inseparable until his death in 2016.
They have been trying to have children all these years, but they never succeeded naturally. Celine gave birth to their first heir through an in vitro procedure, and in 2010, their twins also appeared in the world in the same way. Their marriage was never easy – in 1999, Rene fell ill with throat cancer. He beat the disease once, but it returned years later and in 2014 Celine canceled all her concerts and appearances to care for him. The singer says that she herself fed him three times a day and stood steadfastly by his side in the tough battle that the producer lost.
Her life has not been easy
I want to send positive energy to Celine Dion because I understand that she is going through a very difficult time in her life. I believe he will handle this as well. Perhaps few people know, but her life has not been easy at all. For popular people, things seem easy, but they are not. Not at all for her. We have been friends for many years, we have also worked together on music projects. I know what incredible energy and strength she has. I know she’ll make it.

He also has acting talent
She is brilliant at what she does in music, but she also has acting talent. She was very funny during the filming of Love Again. In fact, in the film, she plays herself and portrays her real-life love story. It was very touching to work with her, she really has a strong spirit. She is very punctual, disciplined, takes her role seriously and is great with everyone on the team. I think the end result is great.

Her song makes me sick
My personal attitude towards Celine Dion is not bad. But I’m really sick of her song from Titanic. When I hear this track, it just hits me. Maybe I shouldn’t have said it, in reality I guess and have to hide my true feelings. I wish I could say, “Oh listen, everyone, this is Celine Dion’s beautiful song My Heart Will Go On,” but I can’t. I’m sick of her.

Rejects the Titanic Song
Celine’s husband is also the main culprit of her singing her absolute hit from the soundtrack of “Titanic”, which brought her world fame. She was initially unimpressed with the song and did not want to sing it, but agreed to make a demo recording with Rene’s help. He secretly sent the recording to the producers of the film and thus My Heart Will Go On became an eternal hit.
Later, Celine Dion is among the most successful and respected artists in the history of world pop music. She won some of the most prestigious awards, dominated the charts in the 90s. He won 5 Grammy Awards, two Academy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 20 Juno Awards (Canada) and many others.
