Speaking about dealing with his passing, the singer said in an interview:

“I organize myself to not feel lonely. So I got myself a huge, huge, huge bed, and I sleep with my twins. They are comforting me a lot. I need them. I need them close. When it’s time for them to say they want their room, their room’s ready. But we watch a lot of TV together. I’m discovering Disney.”

Angélil met Dion when she was just 12. He became her manager and mentor until their relationship turned romantic in 1987.

Entertainment Tonight has honored the producer by creating a timeline of their love-affair here.
