Celine Dion was joined by her oldest song Ren\u00e9-Charles Ang\u00e9lil as she made a surprise appearance at the 66th annual Grammy Awards.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Celine Dion<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is one of the most respected names in the music industry. After kicking off her French-language singing career as a teen in the 1980s, Celine made her English-language debut in 1990 with Unison, <\/em>which has since been certified gold and included the No. 5 hit, “Where Does My Heart Beat Now.” Perhaps her most recognizable song is “My Heart Will Go On,” which was included in the soundtrack of 1997’s iconic and record-breaking cinema masterpiece, Titanic<\/em>. Celine excited fans as she made a surprise appearance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards on February 4, 2024. She was presenting the award for Album of the Year,<\/a> and she was accompanied by her eldest son\u00a0Ren\u00e9-Charles Ang\u00e9lil\u00a0<\/strong>as she walked out on stage.<\/p>\n

Before the exciting news, Celine announced she would be taking a break from performing<\/a> following her one-in-a-million diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome<\/a>, which causes progressive muscle stiffness and painful spasms. “While we\u2019re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what\u2019s been causing all of the spasms that I\u2019ve been having. Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I\u2019m used to,” the Canadian-born artist said in a Dec. 2022 Instagram video<\/a>. In January 2024, she released a statement, saying that she wouldn’t let SPS “define” her<\/a>, as she announced her new documentary, chronicling her battle with the condition, and her return to the stage.<\/p>\n

Luckily, Celine has the support of her fans and friends to lift her spirits as she deals with the rare diagnosis. Celine had three boys<\/a> with her former manager and husband, Ren\u00e9 Ang\u00e9lil<\/strong>,<\/a> whom she was married to until he died<\/a> in 2016 at age 73. Find out more about the singer’s boys below.<\/p>\n

Celine gave birth to her oldest son Ren\u00e9-Charles<\/a> (or “RC”), who was named after his dad, in January 2001. “Celine Dion and Rene Angelil have the great joy of announcing to you that their son was born during the night of January 25 at 1 a.m. (0600 GMT),” her publicist said in a statement at the time, per CNN<\/em><\/a>. “The mother and the baby, which weights 6 pounds and 3 ounces, are doing just great and are in perfect health.” Celine had two operations to help with her fertility before her son was conceived.<\/p>\n

RC has shown some interest in following his mother’s footsteps, as he topped the Soundcloud charts in 2018 with music that he released under the name Big Tip. The rapper admitted to the Montreal Gazette<\/em><\/a> at the time that he kept his music on the down-low until it became popular on the site. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of messed up, honestly,\u201d he told the publication. \u201cI played it to her for the first time [on Wednesday]. I just felt like keeping it on the low. But she loved it. She was just kind of stunned at first, because she\u2019d never heard anything from me. It was kind of a weird conversation: \u2018Ma, I\u2019m No. 1 and No. 2 on the charts right now.\u2019 She was like: \u2018Why didn\u2019t you tell me first?\u2019 But she\u2019s very supportive of my passion for this.\u201d However, RC potentially decided music wasn’t his future, as he seems to have since deleted his Soundcloud account<\/a> as Big Tip.<\/p>\n

RC lives a fairly private life and only has three posts on his Instagram account, which boasts 90,0000 followers. He has not posted since Dec. 2021 and lists himself as an “entrepreneur” in his bio.<\/p>\n
