Superstar singer Céline Dion was dealt another round of horrible news just a day after her husband, René Angélil, died of cancer: her brother Daniel is also dying of the dreaded disease!
René succumbed to throat cancer yesterday, at age 73. Today, a representative for Céline told Page Six that Daniel, 59, is very sick and not expected to survive much longer.
Céline, 47, is one of 14 children.

Their sister Claudette told “The Journal of Montreal” that Daniel was stricken with cancer of the throat, tongue and brain!
“It’s very painful,” Claudette said.
The 89-year-old matriarch of the family, Thérèse, is with Daniel now, as are other family members and friends.
Be strong, Céline.
