Biography of René Angélil

René Angélil was a musician, manager, husband, and impresario. In the 1960s, he was a member of the rock group 'The Baronets'. After that, he became involved in producing other artists, and his name became increasingly associated with other stars. Today, he is best known as the husband and impresario of Celine Dion, but he once had his own musical career. In the 1960s, René was a member of the rock group 'The Baronets'. After that, he enthusiastically took on producing other artists, and his name became increasingly associated with other stars. Among the notable names who achieved fame with Angélil's support were René Simard and Ginette Reno. However, at that time, he worked alongside his friend Guy Cloutier, and they went their separate ways in 1981, with each becoming a successful manager in their own right.

The most prominent star produced by Angélil was undoubtedly Celine Dion, whom he first met when the future singer was still a teenager. He was not afraid to invest in an unknown young girl, taking a significant risk. Angélil found an apartment for Celine, hired her the best vocal, solfeggio, choreography, piano, and English language teachers. Under his guidance, she also underwent several plastic surgeries, and Angélil even provided her wardrobe at the time. However, the manager's intuition, along with the lucky star, proved to be with him - over time, Celine became the most important person in every aspect of his life.

Angélil married for the first time in 1966, and his second attempt to build a family happened in 1974. However, this marriage also fell apart. At that time, the manager was focused on Dion's career, but they had no relationship beyond work. René struggled with the divorce and could not find peace for two years, even contemplating suicide. When Celine was 19 years old, René considered himself an old, tired man with a lot of problems. Nevertheless, the young singer and her impresario became a couple, initially hiding their relationship from the world.

The creative (and more) partnership of Dion and Angélil was the subject of many rumors. The 27-year age difference between the spouses was hotly debated and not flattering for René. However, in 1994, Celine and René were married in the Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal. This wedding ceremony was called one of the most extravagant in the history of show business, with approximately one thousand people attending to congratulate the newlyweds. The press actively covered the personal details of the star couple in subsequent years - their inability to become parents and René's highly publicized infidelity.

In 2002, Angélil was accused of sexual assault by a woman, but the incident was later resolved, and Celine and René promised to "never mention this case in each other's presence." René Angélil also drew attention from the media due to health issues, despite his efforts to hide it from his spouse. Eventually, he had throat cancer, which was successfully treated with surgery. However, the subsequent chemotherapy treatment marked the end of his battle with cancer. In 2001, their first child, René-Charles, was born. In 2009, it was announced that they would become parents for the second time.

It is also known that René Angélil was a passionate gambler who spent a lot of time at Las Vegas casinos. However, he was not a lucky player and reportedly lost several million dollars in card games. Recently, the elderly player has focused on teaching his growing son the intricacies of poker, hoping that he will be able to recover what he has lost. René says, "The little one definitely has talent. I hope that over time, he will more than make up for what I've lost." Today, René Angélil rests on his laurels, enjoying his family happiness and not hiding from journalists. His immense love for his wife, Celine, has been proclaimed to the world many times.
