Celine Dion issues urgent warning amid health woes as music career is threatened

Celine Dion’s team has taken to social media to issue a strong warning to fans, addressing the growing issue of AI-generated content featuring the singer.

These digital creations have been circulating online, with some mimicking her voice or musical performances, and even claiming to be new releases under her name. Celine, 56, who last released original music in 2019 with her album Courage, has not put out any new songs since then, following her retreat from the spotlight due to her Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis.

The statement from her team clarified: “We are aware that unauthorised AI-generated tracks, falsely attributed to Celine Dion, are being shared online and distributed by various platforms. We want to make it clear that these recordings are not authentic, and are not part of her official music collection”.

Supporters of the singer quickly rallied, expressing their concerns with comments like: “This AI nonsense is getting out of control. There needs to be regulation on this”. Another said: “What a nightmare for Celine! Thanks for speaking out”. While someone else added: “It’s actually kind of terrifying the way AI is taking over absolutely everything”.

While dealing with her health challenges, Celine has focused on recovery, taking the time to regain her strength before planning any new music releases or returning to her residency and tour.

In a conversation with Vogue, Celine shared her experience of first noticing the symptoms of her illness while on the Taking Chances tour in 2008. “I started having trouble controlling my voice. It would go high and then spasm. As a singer, you immediately go to the ENT”, she recalled.

Despite undergoing thorough examinations, doctors couldn’t find any issues with her vocal cords. When she finally received a diagnosis, Celine was surprisingly relieved. “It might sound strange, but when I was diagnosed, I felt a sense of relief. It meant I could finally stop fighting the illness and start working with it”, she said.

Sharing her condition with the public lifted a huge weight off her shoulders. “It’s been a heavy burden, but now that it’s out in the open, I can focus on my reality, and that’s been so liberating. My happiness has returned”.

It comes after Celine commemorated the ninth anniversary of her husband René Angélil’s passing back in January by sharing a heartfelt message and a rare family photo featuring their three sons. In her tribute, Dion expressed that not a day goes by without feeling Angélil’s presence and referred to him as her greatest champion and partner. She concluded with, “We love you”.

The accompanying photograph showcased Dion with her sons: René-Charles, 23, and 14-year-old twins Eddy and Nelson. The family coordinated in neutral tones, with Dion dressed in a cream turtleneck and matching sweats, while her sons opted for tan and white ensembles.

Dion’s full caption read: “René, we can’t believe you’ve been gone nine years already. Not a day goes by that we don’t feel your presence, RC, Eddy, Nelson and I. You were my greatest champion, my partner, and the one who always saw the best in me. I honor you and you are forever missed mon amour…. We love you”.
