Celine Dion: The Complete Biography

Celine Dion is by far the most successful female singer in the world. In just two years, she sold more than 50 million albums. And then along came Titanic - and her theme song, 'My Heart Will Go On', -and her sales went totally off the scale. This song has received more radio play than any other piece of music in history. For Celine, these are, indeed, special times. But it hasn't always been like this. Celine was born the youngest of fourteen children, into a poor French Canadian family. She began to sing aged five, when she would stand on top of the kitchen table with a pencil for a microphone and entertain the gathered siblings. Soon she was a child star, spending most of her teenage years on stage, the only place where she felt truly powerful. Off-stage, though, she was shy, timid and awkward, and worst of all, lonely. Now you can read the story of Celine's rise and rise. Drawing on 15 years of research material as well as first-hand encounters, magazine editor and author Lisa Peters gets up close and personal, revealing what really drives Celine Dion, what are her passions and what her hopes and fears. It is a sensational book which you won't want to put down, as sensational as the career which has made Celine Dion a legend of our times.
