Celine Dion reports her 'fake' and unapproved music 

In a statement posted to her Instagram on Friday, March 7, Celine Dion confirmed she is not associated with them.

"It has come to our attention that unsanctioned, AI-generated music purporting to contain Celine Dion's musical performances, and name and likeness, is currently circulating online and across various digital service providers," Dion wrote.

Celine Dion surprises fans with spontaneous performance at TGL golf match

Celine Dion made headlines earlier this week when she attended a TGL golf match and gave an impromptu performance of 'My Heart Will Go On' during an interview.

ESPN reporter Marty Smith asked, "Which song from your catalog best represents your golf game?"

A few moments later, Dion started singing the iconic track and encouraged Smith to join in before playfully changing the lyrics.



 

“I believe that my ball will go on,” she sang.

Dion has not performed much since announcing in 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, which led to a halt in her performances.

However, she made a surprise appearance at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, singing 'Hymne a l’amour'.



 

“I’m honored to have performed tonight, for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, and so full of joy to be back in one of my very favorite cities!” she wrote on Instagram.

“Most of all, I’m so happy to be celebrating these amazing athletes, with all their stories of sacrifice and determination, pain and perseverance," she continued.

"All of you have been so focused on your dream, and whether or not you take home a medal, I hope that being here means that it has come true for you! You should all be so proud, we know how hard you have worked to be the best of the best. Stay focused, keep going, my heart is with you!” she concluded.
