The management team for Dion issued a statement on behalf of both the singer and her record company, stating that the usage of the song was “in no way authorised.”
Celine Dion’s team has urged President Donald Trump to rethink his choice to use the well-known song “My Heart Will Go On” from the Titanic movie production.
During a rally for the presidential campaign in Montana, the song that won an Academy Award and was featured in the film from 1997 was performed.
Dion’s management team issued a statement declaring that the usage of the song was “in no way” authorised. The statement was issued on behalf of Dion and her record label company.
“Today, Celine Dion’s management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorised usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing ‘My Heart Will Go On’ at a Donald Trump / JD Vance campaign rally in Montana,” read the statement that was posted on the social media accounts of the Canadian singer. The statement was posted on the social media accounts of the Canadian singer.
There is not the slightest trace of a possibility that this usage is allowed, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any other use that is comparable to it.
“And really, THAT song?”
Dion made a remarkable comeback to live singing a month ago, when she concluded the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, despite the fact that she was struggling with stiff person syndrome (SPS). This comes after Dion made a stunning return to live singing.
As she performed Edith Piaf’s Hymne a L’Amour from the middle of the Eiffel Tower, the 56-year-old woman expressed that she was “so full of joy” about the experience.
A number of musicians have voiced their disapproval of Mr. Trump’s use of their tunes.
After the song “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want” was played at a rally earlier this year, the guitarist for the Smiths, Johnny Marr, requested that the presidential candidate refrain from playing songs from the band that he had previously performed.
After the song “Livin’ On The Edge” was played at a rally in Charleston, West Virginia, in 2018, Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith, wrote a letter to the president at the time, urging him to cease playing songs from the band at rallies.
For using the band’s music, the singer had already written two letters to the Trump campaign in 2015, requesting that they stop using the band’s song.
Rihanna sent a cease-and-desist letter to Donald Trump after he played her hit song “Don’t Stop the Music” from 2007 at an event in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The estates of Prince and Tom Petty also demanded that Mr. Trump refrain from using the music of the late singers.
According to a letter that Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne gave to Donald Trump, they have prohibited him from utilising music from Black Sabbath in any of his campaign videos.
Rolling Stones and Neil Young have also taken action in response to Mr. Trump’s usage of their music. Linkin Park has issued a cease-and-desist order after the band’s song “In the End” was featured in a video that supported the then-president.
