Together, they worked to develop her image and sound, and in 1990, Dion won the Eurovision Song Contest for Switzerland with the song "Ne partez pas sans moi," which Angélil had helped select and produce.

Angélil's death in 2016 was met with an outpouring of grief from fans and colleagues around the world. Dion paid tribute to her late husband in a series of emotional performances, and dedicated her album "Courage" to him.
