BEIJING: Canadian Celine Dion, who popularized the Titanic theme
song “My Heart Will Go On,” will perform a song for the Beijing
Olympics in a concert in April and submit an entry for the Games’
theme song, organizers said.
Dion’s concert will be held on April 13 at the
Beijing Workers Stadium as part of her worldwide tour to promote her
latest album entitled Taking Chances.
The Grammy Award winner said via video at a news
briefing on Wednesday that she would prepare well for the song and
believed it would reflect the “One World, One Dream” concept of
the event.
Her team had prepared the song as an entry for
the Olympic theme song, but had not yet submitted it to the
solicitation committee, a source with the Beijing Olympic Games
Organizing Committee told Xinhua on Thursday.
Her April show has been included in a number of
celebrations for the Games, which run from August 8 to 24.
Dion sang “The Power of the Dream” at the
opening ceremony of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
