Arsenal and Three Lions of England star forward Bukayo Saka shocked fans during a recent episode of the club’s new series, The Link-Up, by admitting that he does not know who music icon Celine Dion is.
The moment occurred during a light-hearted studio session at London’s famous Abbey Road Studios, where Saka teamed up with Nigerian star singer Tems and Ghanaian producer GuiltyBeatz for a cross-cultural collaboration.
While chatting about musical influences, Saka asked Tems about her childhood musical idol. When she named Celine Dion, Saka’s response: “I don’t know who that is”, left the singer visibly shocked.
Born on 30 March 1968 Dion is a Canadian singer, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Dubbed the “Queen of Power Ballads”, she is known for her powerful, technically skilled vocals and commercially successful works, which have had a significant impact on popular music.
With over 200 million records sold worldwide, Dion is the best-selling Canadian recording artist, the best-selling French-language artist, and one of the best-selling musical artists.
Dion’s accolades include 5 Grammy Awards, 20 Juno Awards, seven American Music Awards, nine Billboard Music Awards, and stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Canada’s Walk of Fame.
Seven of her albums have sold at least 10 million copies worldwide, the second most among women in history. She was ranked among the greatest women in music by VH1 and the greatest voices in music by MTV.
Dion is one of the highest-grossing touring artists in history, the second woman to accumulate US$1 billion in concert revenue, and one of the wealthiest musicians in the world. Forbes ranked her the highest-paid female musician of 1997, 1998, 2004, and 2006.
