Celine Dion has canceled her Las Vegas shows and upcoming Asian tour to focus on the health of her family.
Her husband, Renee
Angelil, 72, had surgery in December to remove a cancerous tumor. In June, he
stepped down from his role as her manager to deal with his health problems.
The iconic singer
explained the heartbreaking situation in a statement to ABC News, sharing:
“I want to devote
every ounce of my strength and energy to my husband’s healing, and to do so,
it’s important for me to dedicate this time to him and to our children,” she
explained. “I also want to apologize to all my fans everywhere, for
inconveniencing them, and I thank them so much for their love and support.”
Dion, 46, has not
been without health problems herself, suffering from an inflammation in her
throat that has kept her from performing since late June.
“It’s been a very
difficult and stressful time for the couple as they deal with the day-to-day
challenges of fighting [Angelil's] disease while trying to juggle a very active
show business schedule, and raise their three young children,” Dion’s rep told
ABC News in a statement.
Sadly, this is not
Angelil’s first bout with cancer. He was first diagnosed with throat cancer in
1999, which he initially beat.
Our thoughts are
with Celine Dion, Renee Angelil and their family, and we wish them the best in
their recovery.
