Celine Dion's husband, Rene Angelil, has undergone a heart-related medical procedure, Dion's publicist confirmed Thursday.
The Palm Beach Post, quoting a source, said Angelil, 67, had arterial blockage.
Dion's Los Angeles-based publicist Kim Jackwerth e-mailed me Thursday, saying Angelil's procedure -- "not heart surgery" -- had been planned for months. "He's back home," Jackwerth said.
The Post noted that Angelil has acknowledged in past interviews that he suffered a near-fatal heart attack when he was 50. He was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1999.
Dion, who left Caesars Palace in December 2007 after a highly successful five-year run, finished her world tour earlier this year and is reported to be planning to undergo in vitro fertilization again to have a second child.
They have a son, Rene-Charles, who turned 8 in January.
There are unconfirmed reports that Dion, whose No. 1 hit "My Heart Will Go On" was the theme of the blockbuster film "Titanic," plans to return to Caesars Palace in June 2010.
