Celine Dion Receives ‘Titanic’ Tribute at Cello Show, Turns Down Performance

Celine Dion felt the love this weekend … ’cause a world-class cellist honored her with a rendition of her “Titanic” theme — and safe to say she’s never gonna let go of the memory.

The singer-songwriter attended HAUSER‘s “Rebel With a Cello” show at Wynn Las Vegas Saturday night … if you don’t know, HAUSER’s a prominent cello player from Croatia.

Celine got applause when she arrived at the venue … so, clearly, it was no secret she was in the crowd — and, HAUSER played “My Heart Will Go On” as a way to honor the music legend.

Check out the clip of CD listening to the music … she’s clearly overcome by emotion — totally transfixed as HAUSER plays the ballad in her honor.

Celine hopped up to give the musician a standing ovation … blowing kisses up at HAUSER — who tells her his biggest dream is to perform with her.

Of course, Celine’s been dealing with Stiff-Person Syndrome and hasn’t performed publicly in a long time … and, she politely turns him down here — but, watch until the end ’cause it’s not a flat-out no.

HAUSER kinda put Celine on the spot here … ’cause she recently talked about how much she wants to get back onstage in her documentary “I Am: Celine Dion” — but, can’t because of her illness.

That said, it was all meant as a tribute to Celine … so, can’t blame the guy for trying — and, she didn’t seem upset about it, taking a pic with him after the show.
