The Dion siblings, including Celine, performed at their parents' small piano bar called Le Vieux Baril ("The Old Barrel") in the town of Charlemagne, Quebec.Viewing will take place next Saturday, a day after Angelil's funeral is set to take place at Montreal's Notre Dame Basilica, the same church where he married the singer in 1994.Daniel Dion's religious funeral will be held several days later at a church in the family's hometown of Charlemagne. -- (c) Associated Press 2016-01-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caspersfriend Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Agreed that she deserves no more sympathy for being a 'celebrity' but I suggest no less. The fact that you dismiss her tragedy out of hand says a lot about you. Edited January 17, 2016 by seedy Quote hidden post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
car720 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 There are a lot of arbitrary people here, which is ok if something is humourous but this is not. No matter what you think of her personally you should respect the grief that any one soul would feel at such loss. I imagine that many of you are the same ones who want to see all of your fellow expats kicked out of Thailand. Nothing is staunch anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geriatrickid Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 The grief must be unbearable….poor thing! It will soon be our turn to grieve when she decides to write a song about it. Not to be mean, but she doesn't write her own lyrics or music. She isn't well educated and based upon her interviews is not particularly intelligent. She just sings whatever they give her to sing.

Credo Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 The grief must be unbearable….poor thing! It will soon be our turn to grieve when she decides to write a song about it. Not to be mean, but she doesn't write her own lyrics or music. She isn't well educated and based upon her interviews is not particularly intelligent. She just sings whatever they give her to sing. I don't know that when someone coming from a family of 14 had all the opportunities for intellectual stimulation that some kids do, but I am guessing her pain isn't any less. At any rate, she has one lovely voice and I hope she is back to performing in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
