She’s been wowing audiences across Australia this month with her spectacular arena tour and singer Celine Dion has treated the crowd at her most recent Melbourne concert to something truly amazing.

In addition to belting out her classic hits including ‘My Heart Will Go On’, ‘Because You Loved Me’, ‘It’s All Coming Back To Me Now’ and ‘Ashes’, the songstress has been delighting fans with her own rendition of John Farnham’s ‘You’re The Voice’.

It’s proven a hit with Aussie fans of the singer, with arenas around the country bursting into song whenever Celine starts singing the song. During Wednesday night’s show at Rod Laver Arena, Celine brought out John Farnham to perform a duet of the classic track. If her recent Instagram post is anything to go by, it’s been a dream come true for her.

Sharing a snap of herself alongside the 69-year-old Aussie singer, Celine explained how much it meant for her to sing the track on tour.

“I’ve wanted to sing John Farnham’s ‘You’re the Voice’ on my tours for so many years, and it’s been so great to finally do it on this tour,” she wrote. “But I still can’t believe that I got to perform it with the one-and-only, John Farnham!

“I will never forget this, the thrill of a lifetime. John, thank you for your incredible talent, you’re amazing. I love you! Thank you, Melbourne!”
