Celine Dion doesn't want "My Heart Will Go On" played at her funeral.
While the 45-year-old songstress is grateful for the success of her hit ballad - which was featured on the soundtrack to 1997 movie Titanic - she is wary of the career-defining song following her into the afterlife: "I'm going to die with this song. It's a good problem to have, when you're part of a classic and you know that you're going to die with it. [But] when I die, though, please don't play the song."
"My Heart Will Go On" has become one of the best-selling singles of all time, with 15 million record sales worldwide, and even earned Celine an Oscar, but the French-Canadian star said she was initially reluctant to record the signature track. "I didn't want to sing 'My Heart Will Go On' ... thank God they didn't listen to me! I didn't really like the song at first. I wasn't sure. I did another song for a movie before and it was very successful and I thought we were pushing our luck. And [my husband and manager] said, 'Let's just do a demo, let's give it a try and we'll see after.' The demo is actually the real recording, I never sang the song again ... Well, except three million times after that live," she explained.
