OMG!!! Céline Dion's Brother Battles Terminal Cancer

This should be a very trying time for Celine Dion in the wake of her husband's Rene's death. It has been confirmed that her brother, Daniel Dion is also battling the disease and has not got long to live.

Reports that Daniel was suffering from cancer of the throat, tongue and brain was currently hospitalized. She said family members, including their 89-year-old mother Therese, have flocked to his side.

"It's very painful," she said. "It's a matter of days or hours."

Celine has recently revealed that Angélil's funeral will be held next Friday at Montreal's Notre Dame Basilica, the same church the two were married in 1994.

"He will be remembered as a gentle man, generous and kind, an unprecedented visionary, a modern Pygmalion, a Renaissance man," read a tribute posted on Celine's Facebook page. "All who had the privilege of knowing him and of working closely with him, whether personally or professionally, salute a leader and a man of great intelligence and wisdom."
