In a serendipitous musical collaboration back in 1997, the Bee Gees and Céline Dion joined forces to create the mesmerizing ballad ‘Immortality,’ igniting an instant creative spark that led to the birth of a timeless masterpiece.

The iconic songwriting trio, known for their unparalleled musical genius, composed ‘Immortality’ in a mere four minutes, envisioning Céline as the perfect vessel to bring their creation to life. Featured on Céline’s 1997 album, ‘Let’s Talk About Love,’ the song, though somewhat overshadowed by her chart-topping hit ‘My Heart Will Go On,’ resonated deeply with fans and held a special place in their hearts.

Recognizing the profound connection between the Bee Gees and Céline Dion, fans embraced ‘Immortality’ wholeheartedly, propelling it to number five on the UK charts after its release as a single in the subsequent year.

Beyond the musical collaboration, the bond forged between Céline and the Gibb brothers transcended the confines of the recording studio. Despite the tragic loss of Maurice Gibb in 2003 and Robin Gibb in 2012, their enduring friendship endured, leaving an indelible mark on both the musical landscape and their personal lives.

In a poignant tribute to the Bee Gees’ legacy, the Grammy Awards organized a spectacular tribute concert in 2017, aptly titled ‘Stayin’ Alive: A Grammy Salute to the Music of the Bee Gees.’ The star-studded event, televised for audiences worldwide, featured performances from an array of music icons, including Stevie Wonder, John Legend, Ed Sheeran, and Demi Lovato.
