Celine has been faithfully caring for Rene since his cancer diagnosis. Last year it got so bad that she took a hiatus from her Vegas residency to care for her husband full-time. However, the death now comes as a shock because he seemed to be doing better recently. We send our prayers to Celine and her family through this tough time.
