Celine Dion has shared her concern following an increase of AI-generated content being attributed to her.
The Canadian songstress, 56, last put out new music in 2019 with album Courage marking her 27th studio record.
Since then, she has largely retreated from the spotlight following a diganosis with Stiff Person Syndrome in August 2022.
Taking to social media, her team issued a statement on her behalf asking fans to be vigiliant and not be taken in by fake recordings circulating online.
The statement read: “We are aware that unauthorised AI-generated tracks, falsely attributed to Celine Dion, are being shared online and distributed by various platforms. We want to make it clear that these recordings are not authentic, and are not part of her official music collection."
The My Heart Will Go On hit-maker’s 9m strong following rushed to the comments to share their support.
“That’s a nightmare Celine! Thank you for reporting it,” wrote one person, followed by a red love-heart emoji.
“This AI c*** is getting out of hand. There needs to be laws around this,” fumed another.
“Trust me Celine we know the difference between your amazing voice and AI,” assured a third.
While a fourth declared: “AI needs to go”.
Dion went public last year with her health concern last year after it had forced her to pull the plug on a number of tour dates.
Recalling first noticing symptoms while on her Taking Chances tour in 2008, she told Vogue: “I started having trouble controlling my voice. It would go high and then spasm. As a singer, you immediately go to the ENT.”
Upon examination, doctors were unable to find any issues with her vocal cords, however she said receiving her Stiff Persons Diagnosis came as a “relief”.
She explained to the publication: "It might sound strange, but when I was diagnosed, I felt a sense of relief. It meant I could finally stop fighting the illness and start working with it.”
Adding: "It’s been a heavy burden, but now that it’s out in the open, I can focus on my reality, and that’s been so liberating. My happiness has returned."
