On February 15, 2008, during her televised special Celine Dion: That’s Just The Woman In Me, Celine Dion treated fans to a performance that would be remembered for years. She began by saying, “There’s a George Harrison song I’ve wanted to sing forever,” and moments later, she invited legendary Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh to join her on stage. What followed was pure magic.
Dion, famous for her powerhouse ballads like My Heart Will Go On, and Walsh, a master of guitar from the rock world, might seem an unlikely pairing—but their collaboration proved that great music transcends genres. Together, they performed Something, George Harrison’s timeless Beatles classic from 1969, a song written for his wife Patti that quickly became a global hit.
Dressed in a stunning white feathery dress paired with thigh-high black boots, Dion brought elegance and subtle power to the song. Her voice floated gracefully over each note, echoing the delicate charm of legendary female performers like Shirley Bassey, while adding her own signature warmth and emotion.
Joe Walsh’s guitar added a rich, textured layer to the performance. His solo honored the original while injecting his own country-rock flair, blending perfectly with Dion’s vocals. The result was a seamless mix of rock and elegance, a heartfelt tribute to Harrison that felt both intimate and grand.
Fans were captivated, with many describing it as “a masterclass by two legends honoring a third.” The chemistry between Dion and Walsh, along with their mutual respect for the iconic song, made this performance a standout moment in both of their careers.
It was more than a duet—it was a celebration of timeless music, a reminder that when artists from different worlds come together, the result can be unforgettable.
