Céline Dion is paying tribute to one of Quebec's most popular culture journalists.

Herby Moreau, who died Nov. 3 at age 56, was known as the province's prince of red carpets. He hosted the TV shows Star Système and Star Académie and covered A-list events like the Oscars and Cannes.


"Herby Moreau was a friend, an internationally recognized journalist with whom I spent a lot of time on the Red Carpets," Dion shared on social media, "which he hosted with mastery, elegance and good humor." She continued, "his smile will remain engraved in my heart..."

Moreau was born in Haiti and moved to Quebec with his family at age 5. He rose to prominence as a journalist with the culture show Flash for Quebec channel TQS. In 2014, he published the book Glamour et faux pas, recounting his memorable encounters with celebrities like George Clooney and Dion herself.
