In their book "Céline Dion: the real story - The Secrets of a fragile idol", released Thursday, November 17, journalists Laurence Pieau and Hervé Tropéa lift the veil on the diva's daily life.
Forced to postpone the dates of her European tour because of her health problems, the singer, in convalescence, would feel deeply alone.
Since the disappearance of her husband René Angélil in January 2016, Celine Dion would be deeply alone.
This is what we learn in the new book
Céline Dion: the real story - The Secrets of a Fragile Idol
, written by Laurence Pieau and Hervé Tropéa.
Celine Dion lets few people be around her
The two journalists collected testimonies from relatives of the Canadian diva and quickly realized that she was not as surrounded as one could imagine.
In an interview for
TF1 Info
granted Thursday, November 17, the day of the book's release, Laurence Pieau, former editor-in-chief of
Closer,
explains that the star lets few people "be around her".

"What has obviously surprised me over the past few years is his immense loneliness," says the journalist, who followed in the footsteps of the interpreter of
For you to still love me
by going to Las Vegas, his place of residence.
In
Celine Dion: the real story - The Secrets of a Fragile Idol,
producer Gilbert Coullier even speaks of an "omerta" concerning the state of the artist, who had to postpone the dates of his European tour because of many health problems.
"They are very few to be in the confidence of what happens to him," he says.
According to Laurence Pieau, Gilbert Coullier would not have heard from the star for fear of seeming intrusive.
“Many also say to themselves that if she does not want to speak, it is that she is not well and that it must be respected”, assures the journalist.
But, "on the other side, the fans and the whole world are waiting and worried," she concludes.
