Celine Had a Near-Fatal Accident When She Was Just Five
When she was just 5 years old, Céline had an accident that almost ended her young life. A truck driver backed into her, and she suffered from several skull fractures, and went into a coma. She was completely unconscious at first, and took almost a week to come to, and did not have a very promising prognosis initially, but was fortunately able to eventually make a full recovery from her injuries.

An Early Start to an Incredible Career
Céline first performed for the public at wedding of her brother Michel. Aged only 5, she sang the song Du fil des aiguilles et du coton, originally recorded by the French-Canadian singer-songwriter Christine Charbonneau. The song would have been a nice choice for a wedding performance, with the narrator describing all the ways she would dote on the subject of the song, and how she would like to help him and use a thread, needles and cotton to demonstrate her feelings towards him.
