Report: Celine Dion’s Mother, Thérèse, Dead at 92

‘My Heart Will Go On’ singer Celine Dion‘s reportedly going on with her hotly-selling ‘Courage’ World Tour despite reports her mother, Thérèse (affectionately known as Maman Dion), has passed away at the age of 92.

Details inside:

Just six months after the Pop icon’s sister, Claudette, opened up about their mother’s failing health, the matriarch has passed away.  Mother to 14 children (of which the superstar singer is the youngest), Thérèse – a recognized musical talent in the family’s native Quebec – is credited as the writer of Céline’s first single, “Ce n’était qu’un rêve.” The tune launched her nearly 40-year career and helped make her one of the world’s most beloved divas.

Celine took to social media to share this touching tribute:
