Celine Wasn’t Planned
Many don’t know that Celine is the youngest of 14 children in a family that was financially unstable. Her mother didn’t plan on having any more kids after giving birth for the 13th time. Apparently, destiny had other plans. When Celine was still a baby, she actually had to sleep in a cabinet drawer because there were no more beds available!
Her Husband Put His Foot Down
Rene was instrumental in recording Celine’s “My Heart Will Go On”. He convinced Celine that this song will be a big hit. In an interview with Jonathan Ross, she recalled, “[Angélil] said, ‘Let’s just do a demo. Let’s give it a try and we’ll see after.’ The demo is actually the real recording. I never sang the song again.” The rest was history and the song from 1997 film Titanic won several awards. This song will forever be Celine’s trademark song.
