CELINE DION TEAMS UP WITH DISNEY FOR BEAUTY

The iconic Celine Dion—a five-time Grammy winner—will perform a new original song, “How Does A Moment Last Forever,” for Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast.

The song, which will be included on the official soundtrack (out 3/10), was written by eight-time Oscar-winning composer Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin) and three-time Oscar-winning lyricist Tim Rice (The Lion King).

Mitchell Leib, President of Music for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Production, had approached Dion to perform it and says, "Celine was the unanimous choice of the filmmakers and studio to perform this song... and everyone involved with the film is thrilled she agreed to be part of this new live-action adaptation.”

And this isn't the first star that's been revealed to be a part of the family-friendly project. As we reported last week, Ariana Grande and John Legend came aboard to sing the Ron Fair-produced title song.

I am thrilled to announce that I’ll be performing an all-new original song, “How Does A Moment Last Forever,” for Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast. Being a part of the original film was such a magical experience in my life, and I’m truly honored to be a part of this film again. // Je suis ravie de vous annoncer que je chanterai la nouvelle chanson thème du film La Belle et la Bête, «How Does A Moment Last Forever». Avoir fait partie du film original de Disney a été une expérience magique dans ma vie et je suis encore plus honorée de répéter cette expérience. – Céline 🌹#beautyandthebeast #Disney #labelleetlabete
