Daniel, 59, who is one of Dion's 13 siblings, is surrounded by family in Montreal, according to his sister, Claudette, and the family believes he may only have "a matter of days or hours" to live.

"It looks a lot like René, he had cancer of the throat, tongue and brain," Claudette said in an interview with The Journal of Montreal. "Our family is very experienced."
