Angelil died at 73 years old at the couple’s Las Vegas home. Dion married him in 1994, but their relationship goes back much further. Angelil was a former singer-turned-manager when he received an audiotape of Dion, then 12, from her mother.

"In those 20 years, I had never heard or had a feeling come out of someone like this little girl I had in front of me. I had shivers all over, you know."
