In 2000, the song “Sous le vent” was released and Garou and Celine Dion signed without knowing it, one of the most iconic hits of the decade. But did you know that it was Celine Dion who “launched” Garou’s career? One evening, at the end of the 1990s, the singer attended the show of the musical “Notre-Dame de Paris” in which Garou played the role of Quasimodo. From the outset, she fell in love with the hoarse-voiced singer and insisted that her husband, René Angelil, work with him.
Finally, the singer and the producer will work together for eight years. “It upset, transformed my career. In Canada, he was the boss. His view of our common passion for music was very important […]He always made his decisions with the public in mind.“said Garou in Le Parisien. When René Angelil died in 2016, Garou was devastated and did not fail to share his grief: Thank you René for these great moments. You are rare, you are still My Boss! My sincere sympathy to you Céline and to the whole team of hearts, big hearts. René bequeaths us the most beautiful values” he had declared.
Garou “cut ties” with Celine Dion
Despite this perfect artistic collaboration, the friendship between the two singers stopped. Invited in “En Aparté” this Wednesday, April 13, 2022, he did not fail to come back to this rupture: “We were very, very close with Céline, I don’t think she understood when I cut ties with them” he said before adding: “When we find each other it’s magic because there are a lot of things that happen in our eyes because there was all this complicity, a real connection […] We had a unique bond“.
The singer then explained that this estrangement is his fault and that he even “the feeling of having betrayed something“providing that he still has a lot of affection for Celine Dion.
