After reports surfaced that Celine would perform at Angelil's funeral, her team quashed the rumours saying that the thought 'had never crossed her mind', reported tmz.com .

The 73-year-old music manager's memorial will take place on Friday here at the Notre-Dame Basilica, where he and Celine got married 21 years ago.

The funeral will be televised on three networks and flags will fly at half-mast.

Rene Angelil died on January 14 at his home in Las Vegas after a long battle with throat cancer, on the eve of his 74th birthday.
