This year’s Billboard Music Awards may be stacked with the hottest stars of right now, but Celine Dion will be taking us back to 1997. The French-Canadian singer will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of Titanic with a performance of the Oscar-winning ballad “My Heart Will Go On.”
“This song means a lot to me, and it has played such a huge role in my career,” Dion said Monday in a statement. “I’m so grateful to the late James Horner, and to Will Jennings, for writing it and creating the opportunity for me to be part of Titanic, an amazing film whose legacy will continue for generations to come. It’s a great honor to have the opportunity to perform it on the Billboard Music Awards’ international stage, in celebration of the film’s 20th anniversary.”
