Celine Dion taken to hospital ahead of birth of twins

MIAMI: Canadian pop diva Celine Dion has entered hospital in the US state of Florida in a precautionary move to prevent her twins from being born early, medical officials said on Monday.

"Celine Dion has been admitted to St Mary's Medical Centre in West Palm Beach, Florida for observation at the recommendation of her doctors," the hospital said in a statement.

Hospitalising Dion, 42, was an effort by doctors "to prevent the early delivery of her babies which is the standard of care for any patient with twin pregnancy in this clinical setting."

The "My Heart Will Go On" singer and her husband-manager Rene Angelil, 68, who have a nine-year-old son, are expecting twin boys, Dion announced on her website in July. LINK
