    Celine Dion too weak to attend brothers funeral

    26 january 2016
    What a heartbreaking week for Celine Dion.
    Just two days after her husband René Angélil's public memorial and funeral, the pop diva attended a service for her brother Daniel Dion on Saturday at the Salon Charles Rajotte funeral home in Repentigny, Montreal.
    Sadly, she was too distraught to attend her youngest brother's funeral on Monday, Entertainment Tonight is reporting.
    Daniel, who was one of Celine's 13 siblings, died of cancer on Jan. 16, just two days after Celine's husband of 21 years also died of cancer.
    The "My Heart Will Go On" songstress buried Angélil on Friday in a public funeral at the Notre-Dame Basilica - the same church where they were married in 1994.
    She attended the service with her their twins, Nelson and Eddy, 5, and her 14-year-old son, René-Charles.
    At the service, René-Charles honored his late father, who died just two days shy of his 74th birthday.
    "Dad, you are a tough act to follow, but with your help, everything is going to be fine," René-Charles said. "Dad, I promise you we are all going to live up to your standards."
