There’s only one Céline Dion.
The Grammy winner posted a statement on her Instagram page on March 7 saying she is not affiliated with any “AI-generated music” that supposedly features her.
“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,” the statement read.
“Please be advised that these recordings are fake and not approved, and are not songs from her official discography.”
Dion didn’t mention any specific incident in which her image or music was improperly used.
Dion made headlines earlier this week when she attended a TGL golf match and began belting out “My Heart Will Go On” during an interview.
“Which song from your catalog best represents your golf game?” ESPN reporter Marty Smith asked.
A few moments later, she started singing the iconic track and coaxed Smith into joining her before she switched up the lyrics.
“I believe that my ball will go on,” she sang.
Dion hadn’t performed much music since she announced in 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, halting all performances until she resurfaced with a surprise appearance at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris when she sang “Hymne à 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 afterward 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. 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!”
