Celine Dion adds Jackson tribute to stage show
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 24 February 2011
Celine Dion has announced that she will include a tribute to Michael Jackson in her new stage show. As previously reported, the singer will return to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for a new three year residency next month.
Speaking to Access Hollywood she revealed that she will sing Charlie Chaplin’s ‘Smile’, Jackson’s favourite song, as part of her set. She said: “He changed my life. I saw him on TV and I wanted to sing in English because he was doing so. And I went to learn English and met with him and I [sang] with him and he came to see the show and he had a big impact on my life”.
This is not the first time Dion has performed in tribute to Jackson, of course. However, last time he was still alive. This might be deemed even less tasteful now.
