The René Angélil legacy

[Duchess]

i knew this was coming but didn't want to say anything in the other topic because i wanted to give celine and renee the respect they both deserved. my friend passed from cancer last year and i watched her on her last. i had a client who had throat cancer and he only made it 7 months and i knew this was the last for renee. if you think about the kardashian father who also had throat cancer, one would only imagine that a second bout of it would possibly be the last.

 

there are just some things that you post on social media and there are some things rather left silent.

 

R.I.P. renee and condolences to celine. my thoughts and prayers are with her and their 3 children in this sad moment.

[smw]

I'm thankful to read all of your comments tonight. Helping me cope with my own feelings about Rene's passing.

 

We are all sending so much light and positivity to Celine.

 

Rene will always be remembered. Their relationship will always be admired. And their amazing partnership will live on forever in Celine's Iconic career that they created together.

Im so sad. It hasn't fully hit me yet. I'm so thankful for what Rene achieved and his careers is one of those which will be hard to top.

 

I'll be thinking of his loved ones and if I could give each one of them a big hug, I would.

[crislyne]

Seeing Celine at events the past year actually broke my heart. You could see the pain etched all over her due to the struggles she was going through with Rene and their family.

Celine holds a special place in my life and heart. The only thing I can do is to send my strength, prayers and love from my heart to her and her family via the universe during this incredibly sad time.

 

I thank Rene for his unfailing belief and love, may he enjoy playing poker upstairs with the angels.

I can't help but think of all the beautiful moments, I've been going thru many of them and now they all take a different meaning but all in all they're a true celebration of their love

Trying to load this pic here for 40 mins. It is so not working. I also see others have found some, so I will leave it at that.

Thank you anyway! Are you using app or computer?

I heard the sad news while I was changing planes on my way home from Las Vegas. It just saddens me to think of him not being there for Celine and their young boys. He was still very vibrant with so much to give. I bet he was giving notes after just about every show since August. I'm so glad and lucky that I was at the last 2 shows, probably the last 2 that Rene watched and we know he loved seeing Celine on stage giving her all to the fans. We loved him as much as Celine, I pray for her and the boys. it's going to be so hard on them losing their dad at such young ages.

 

R.I.P. Rene - You were loved!

I cannot imagine how depressing that would feel to hear the news in an airport, while leaving Las Vegas, the very place where they are. So sad. Instead you must have wanted to stay in Las Vegas to feel closer to Celine.

It is difficult to believe René is gone. Their love story was one of a kind and their success together was amazing. My heart aches for Céline and the children and I can't imagine what they are going through at the moment. René left an enduring legacy,

Rene is not gone! He remains with Celine and the 3 boys.

RIP René, such a starcatcher...

[PriscillaBarragan]

For some reason, the support that other celebrities like Gloria Estefan, Josh Groban and countless others have given (and are giving) today has helped me. It has also really set in what's happened so I've been emotional about it.

 

Also it's really bothering me that people are tagging RC in their instagram posts about it. I know people are trying to show support but it's just not something I think is appropriate given the circumstance.

[Angel2006]

I have been sad all day thinking of Rene. I can't imagine how Celine is feeling right now and how her children, especially RC is coping with this horrible loss. It's so sad because Celine has known her husband since she was 12 years old.

 

Most people don't meet there future husband at that age and spend practically everyday alongside them. Growing with them, learning with them, achieving huge milestones that go done in history, sharing incredible special memories, being your wives one and only lover. They traveled the world. They got to experience so much together that not many other couples can say they've experienced.

 

There love was and is much stronger then most loves out there. There must be a huge piece of Celine missing now. Rene was her other half. They completed each other. Now half of her is gone.

 

Celine will probably never be quit the same woman that we have watched and grown alongside with throughout her career. Sure her values, kindness, and her beautiful soul will still be there, but she won't be quit the same. This is a new chapter in Celine's life. A scary chapter, a chapter without Rene.

 

I don't know how she is going to deal with this loss. Celine has only known one world her whole life and that world has, for the most part always involved Rene. That is the saddest part of all of this. Knowing that Celine is sad and forever effected by this tragic and sad loss and we can't do anything to make it better.

 

It just breaks my heart. I wouldn't blamed her if she left the spotlight and never came back. I know she will probably carry on singing for Rene, for herself and for the fans, but I honestly don't know how she is going to find the strength. There is only so much one person can take.

 

I really think Celine should think about breaking her contract with Vegas and take a long break to figure out how she is going to carry on in this next chapter of her life. To be there for her children and to grieve this horrible loss.

 

Whatever Celine decides to do, I am behind her 100%. I know she will probably insist on finishing her contract with her Vegas show for Rene and if she does, I know she will feel a huge amount of support from her fans, band mates, Caesars employee's, family, friends and most of all from her beautiful children that will forever be a piece of Rene and Celine.

 

Celine's children are what is going to pull her through and keep her happy and fulfilled for the rest of her life. Rene knew this when he was alive. He knew that Celine would have her boys to guide her and help her through a life without him.

 

I am so thankful that even though Rene isn't on this earth anymore, that he was able to give Celine this special gift. He gave her a love that will go on, even through the clouds in heaven and 3 beautiful children to carry on that love on earth.

 

This is a day that I will never forget because my life will be forever changed by having the experience of seeing Rene through the looking glass. Watching him and Celine's love that they had and still have for each other. I have watched them all my life. Since I was 6 years old.

 

The values and lesson I have learned in life are largely based by watching the love Celine and Rene have always shared for each other. Rene and Celine have lived there life with know judgement.

 

They have shown through there love that love has no age, love has no limits, love speaks from that heart and doesn't judge on appearance. Because of Rene and Celine I have learned all those important things and so much more. I hope that one day if I find love, I only hope and pray that it's at least half the amount of love Celine and Rene share. A love that is endless and has know barriers.

 

I will never forget you Rene Angelil! RIP.

[PuraVida]

Thank you to all of you posting Tweets from Celine's friends, showbiz friends, and other admirers. It only enhances the sense of collective support we are all feeling right now.

[Gabriel81]

Very sad news.

Thank you René for creating a dream.

Big hug for all the fans.

[AllaneZ]

I have no words to describe my feelings. We knew this was coming but still..

My prayers goes to Celine, their children and both families.

Thanks Rene for bringing Celine to us, we will forever owe you big time.

 

This is sad, just sad.

[carlocruz]

I really hoped that Rene still had a few more years in him, after them announcing a tour this summer i thought it was all going great. I found out on my way to work and just erupted in tears. Been crying on and off the whole day. Just saw Celine in concert last week, im still in shock. RIP Rene!

Oh my god!!! :cry:

Why I am about to say this I don't know cause it's not like I wouldn't love to see her again and wouldn't love for future DVDs and such but if Celine wanted to stop I'd tell her screw the residency the tour and everything else just take your kids go and relax and spend time together. Take your time grieve and regroup and decide what's next and if Celine came and said she wanted to stop forever I would 100% support her and I know even though Rene wanted her to go on I know he would have supported her too

Computer, which created the problem. Windows 7 photo gallery equals the gallery from Hades. I did post it to my facebook though.

 

I feel so bad for her. I did notice a sign outside the theater that was a repeat of Caesar's earlier statement but no flowers or candles or anything like that.

[Kristinaz]

I seriously don't know what to do I'm trying to sleep but I can't I just keep thinking that this is some sort of nightmare. I can't even begin to imagine how Celine feels

[mb011]

Yesterday for the first time I have met in person a fellow Serbian fan from this board. We had a drink, and talked about what Celine's life would be like without Rene... Only to see the very sad news when I got back home...

So very very sad... Just hope Celine will be able to find new strength and deal with this loss in the best way possible, for her and the family, regardless of her career and the fans.

If I was a fan going to Vegas I wouldn't recommend recommend until even after February. I bet they will postpone longer with great reason of course and I hope she does.

 

The 23rd February is not too long away. Maybe they will postpone till the middle of the year, we don't know. But I think Celine knows how very deeply we love her, and she might well feel she needs us the fans as well during this difficult time.

[browseceline]

Yes, I have seen this so much as a nurse.

I see this also. I wish she would have just taken off completely. I feel kind of guilty for wanting her back. I really hope she takes all the time she needs and doesn't feel she has to rush back in Feb.

That is what i feel too. I was looking forward seeing her in June but would not be surprised that she will cancel everything and i would completely understand that.

[stevo]

Good Morning Britain reported it. It's very surreal and will be difficult to watch the things we all like to watch- past interviews, performances etc where René is there. there is so much love for René and for Céline

[danger]

i knew this will come.... Her latest appearences off key, her eyes.... She used to say anything about Rene s health and during recent days weekes and so she was silent. I was wondering are we goling to see him anyway once more.. In an interview or via satellite...hoping .. It nad to be worse that we thought. No one can be prepared.... I can' t even look at their photos and not to mention vidios and songs.... Now all od US fans and non fans are able to hear Rene in CELINE voice.... I wish I could meet you all jest Wright now.

[heartssong]

Yes. I almost started to cry a few minutes ago.

 

I created a topic for this before I saw this one. Sorry. I didn't see this.

The news we've all been dreading has come today, sadly.

 

I'm certain all of Celine's fans hearts are breaking right now...
