As of May of last year, Dion told Entertainment Tonight in an interview that Angélil was doing well.
“We know the path that he’s going, the treatments, I knew he was amazing. He’s such a champ,” she told the celebrity media outlet.
Dion had previously taken a year off from show business to care for her ailing husband.
“It’s hard because life imposes sickness on you. You have no choice but to deal with them. But I have to say, I’ve been with him all my life and he’s shown me the way many times,” she told E.T.
Dion was known to share photos of Angélil and their three children on Facebook.
