Her Secret Dad
Celine talks a lot about her mother during interviews, but she rarely mentions her father. He was Adhemar Dion and died in 2001. The musician said, “My dad was and is still my number one fan since I was a very little girl. I know that my dad would want me to be here tonight on stage with everyone I love, doing what we love.”
She Prepared her Kids for Death
Celine had to deal with the challenge of preparing the kids for the death of their father. She needed to help them accept it. Upon reflection, she said, “I’m proud of the way I prepared my boys for their dad’s death. In life, you never know what’s going to happen, so you should never wait for tomorrow to do what can be done today, to say I love you, or send a thank-you note…The future is now.”
