Celine Dion is facing more heartbreak after the death of her husband René Angélil on Thursday.
The singer's older brother Daniel is also battling cancer, and his family believe he has just hours or days to live.
Celine's sister Claudette told Journal Of Montreal: 'It's very painful. It's a matter of days or hours. It looks a lot like René, he had cancer of the throat, tongue and brain. Our family is very experienced.'
