Celine Dion Warns Fans Against AI-Generated Fake Songs Using Her Voice, Issues Statement
Renowned singer Celine Dion has alerted her fans about the circulation of unauthorised, AI-generated music falsely claiming to feature her voice. The fraudulent tracks have reportedly surfaced on multiple streaming platforms, misleading listeners.
In an official statement shared on social media, Dion addressed the issue, stating, “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.”
While Celine Dion did not mention specific tracks, her statement likely refers to an AI-generated cover of the gospel song titled Heal Me Lord. This particular track, which emerged on YouTube several months ago, has been widely circulated across multiple accounts.
One video, in particular, falsely attributing the song to Dion, has already surpassed one million views, misleading listeners into believing it is an authentic performance. However, searches on major streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music have not yet revealed any misleading content linked to the singer.
Celine Dion further clarified the issue, stressing that these recordings are unauthorised and do not belong to her official discography. She urged fans to be cautious, stating, “Please be advised that these recordings are fake and not approved.”
The rapid rise of AI-generated music has become a significant concern within the music industry. Advanced technology now enables software to analyze and replicate an artist’s voice with remarkable accuracy, often without their consent. One of the most high-profile cases of AI-generated music controversy involved Canadian rapper Drake, who released a track featuring an AI-generated verse mimicking the late Tupac Shakur. The song, which was reportedly used as a diss track against Kendrick Lamar, sparked immediate backlash.
