Celine Wasn’t Planned
Did you know Celine has 14 siblings? She is actually the youngest of all of them! The family wasn’t planning on having more children due to the financial difficulty of paying for 13 children already, but fate had Celine’s birth planned. Celine had to sleep in a cabinet drawer at the beginning of her life because there were simply not enough beds. How her life has changed since then!
Her Husband Put His Foot Down
Despite her initial apprehension about “My Heart Will Go On,” Celine’s husband, Rene, persuaded her to record and release the single. While interviewing with Jonathan Ross, she said, ” “[Angélil] said, ‘Let’s just do a demo. Let’s give it a try and we’ll see after.’ The demo is actually the real recording. I never sang the song again.” What a good decision to record the demo! After it was released in 1997 it became a huge hit and earned Celine a number of awards. To date, it is her most popular song.
