Celine Dion's Grief Prevents Her to Attend Brothers Funeral

Celine Dion was reportedly too grief-stricken to wait her brother Daniel's funeral on Monday (25Jan16), just couple of days after she said goodbye to her husband.

 

The 47-year-old publicly mourned loosing her beloved spouse Rene Angelil on Friday (22Jan16) using the couple's three children by her side, and even though she was a part of her sibling's memorial service every day later (24Jan16), sources tell Entertainment Tonight grief took its toll around the star, and she or he was compelled to skip at a later date of mourning while you're watching media and fans. 

 

Instead, the Think Twice singer paid her last respects to her 59-year-old brother for the memorial service, stuck Salon Charles Rajotte in Repentigny. 

 

 

Daniel, one among Celine's 13 siblings, lost his fight with cancer on 16 January (16), just a couple of days after Rene, 73, died of the disease.

 

Daniel's funeral was held in Charlemagne, Quebec, the spot that the family were raised, while Rene was laid to nap on Friday on the Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, where Celine and Rene were married in 1994.

 

Celine held hands while using couple's twin boys Nelson and Eddy, five, during the entire service, while her eldest son, 14-year-old Rene-Charles, read a moving eulogy to his father. 

 

"Fifteen years is not a number of years for a son to go to know his father," he started, prior to trying to lighten the atmosphere as he mentioned sharing his late dad's desire for golf, poker and "smoked meats".

 

"You left me now with enough good memories individuals to share with my younger brothers," he added. "I'll ensure that you pass on what I've learned of your stuff.You are a tough act to adhere to... but I promise you here that all of us are going to fulfill your standards."
