Dion to help hospital celebrate 100 years

MONTREAL, June 1 (UPI) -- When "Happy Birthday" is sung during a Montreal hospital's 100th birthday celebration, pop diva Celine Dion will be among the well-wishers warbling the tune.

Dion is scheduled to perform three songs during Ste. Justine Hospital's centenary celebration in August, the Montreal Gazette reported Friday. The private show is scheduled for Aug. 4.

Dion's involvement with the hospital began nearly 15 years ago when her niece was admitted and treated for cystic fibrosis.

It would be the Canadian-born Dion's first performance in Montreal in more than five years.
