Celine Dion’s team has taken a public stand against AI-generated music falsely attributed to the legendary singer, highlighting the growing challenge performers face in protecting their artistry in the age of artificial intelligence. Despite her ongoing battle with Stiff Person Syndrome, which has limited her recording and touring activity since 2022, Dion has made several high-profile appearances showcasing her enduring vocal talent, making the unauthorized AI replications particularly concerning for her team and fans.
The warning: Dion’s representatives issued a formal statement on Instagram addressing unauthorized AI-generated songs circulating online that falsely claim to feature the singer’s voice.
- “These recordings are fake and not approved, and are not songs from her official discography,” the team stated in their March 7 post.
- The statement specifically noted that the AI-generated content contains purported musical performances alongside unauthorized use of Dion’s name and likeness.

- The singer delivered an impromptu rendition of “My Heart Will Go On” during Tiger Woods’ indoor golf league event in Florida on March 4, even customizing the lyrics with a playful golf reference.
- Dion made a triumphant return to the global stage during the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony, performing Edith Piaf’s “Hymne à l’Amour” in her native French.
- Additional appearances included performing at an Elie Saab runway show in Saudi Arabia in November 2024 and presenting Taylor Swift with Album of the Year at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
Health journey: Dion has been transparent about her struggle with Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder.
- The “Because You Loved Me” singer first disclosed her diagnosis in December 2022, which led to the postponement and eventual cancellation of her 2023 tour.
- Her documentary “I Am: Celine Dion” provides an intimate look at her experience with the debilitating condition.
Personal context: The 56-year-old Canadian artist balances her career challenges with family responsibilities.
- Dion is mother to three sons: 24-year-old René-Charles and 14-year-old twins Eddy and Nelson.
- The singer has been navigating both her health condition and single parenthood since the 2016 death of her husband, René Angélil.
