Biography

Céline Dion is a Canadian singer. Noted for her powerful and technically skilled vocals and is the best-selling Canadian recording artist and the best-selling French-language artist of all time.[1]

Céline Marie Claudette Dion was born in Charlemagne, Quebec, Canada to Thérèse Tanguay and Adhémar Dion. She is the youngest of 14 children. Music was a large influence in the Dion family, so much so that Céline was named after the song "Céline", by Hugues Aufray.[1]

Céline marrieed René Angélil on 17 December 1994, at Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec. On 5 January 2000, Dion and Angélil renewed their wedding vows in Las Vegas. They had three sons together.[1]

Céline started performing at a young age. She has a soprano vocal range and is known for her technical abilities as well as her sentimentality in singing.[1]

Céline holds the Guinness World Record for the most Juno Awards won for Album Of The Year (tied with Michael Buble & Arcade Fire). She won 3 out of the 13 nominations she received in the category throughout her career. She is the 3rd most decorated artist in Juno Awards history and the most nominated artist in the awards history as well. In 1999, she received a star on Canada's Walk of Fame and was inducted into the Canadian Broadcast Hall of Fame. She received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in January 2004. On 26 July 2013, she was awarded the highest rank of the Order of Canada, the Companion of the Order of Canada, by the Governor General of Canada.[1]

In December 2022, Céline announced she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disease, and that it was the cause of spasms that had been causing performance cancellations.[1]
