The youngest of 14 children,Celine Dion was born in Charlemagne, Quebec in 1968 and gave her first performance in French, singing 'Du fil, des aiguilles et du coton' at her brother's wedding when she was just five years old.

Her parents formed a singing group called Dion's Family and toured Canada with the children, later opening a piano bar where Celine impressed customers with her singing voice when she was just at 6-years-old.

Celine went on to tour Canada as a teen and was determined to make it as a singer.

Speaking toPeople Magazine in 1994, the star said: "I missed my family and my home, but I don't regret having lost my adolescence. I had one dream: I wanted to be a singer."
