How many sisters does Celine Dion have? Learn all there is to know about the singer’s family history.
Celine Dion’s vocal cords may be in a class all their own, but growing up, she was the youngest of 14 performers. Born to musician and butcher Adhemar Dion and TV personality Therese Dion, Celine and her siblings all had a hand in music.
Celine was exposed to the art of live performance through her siblings. “I’d sleep on chairs in restaurants and bars while they sang,” she told PEOPLE in 1994. “While Mom did lunch or things like that we’d take care of her,” her brother Michel told PEOPLE in 1997. “Like me; I was in a rock and roll band, and I’d bring Celine to gigs with me.” Her brothers and sisters’ dedication to their craft left a big impact on the future Grammy winner.
“A lot of my sisters and brothers hoped to be successful singers, and I’ve seen the effort and hard work that went into their unrealized dreams,” Celine told PEOPLE. “If I’m successful, I do it for them and for me.”
In addition to showing her the musical ropes, the “Power of Love” singer’s family has been there for her personally and professionally, many of them having roles on her team: Celine’s brother Michel has worked as her assistant tour manager, while her sister Pauline began her fan club. “She’s close with all of her siblings,” a source told PEOPLE in 2016.
