Celine Dion To Pay Tribute To Paris At American Music Awards
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Celine Dion will honor the victims of the attacks in Paris at Sunday's American Music Awards.
ABC and dick clark productions say that Dion will perform a rendition of Edith Piaf's "Hymne à L'Amour" in French at the ceremony to pay tribute to those affected by last week's attacks.
