Arcade Fire Are Playing A Show With...Céline Dion

    They're teaming up for a charity concert in Montreal. Can "My Heart Will Go On" be improved by the addition of hurdy gurdy and glockenspiel?

    Arcade Fire and Céline Dion will perform at a special concert at the Métropolis in Montreal on October 1st to raise money for the family of Denis Blanchette, a lighting technician who was fatally shot at a victory party for Pauline Marois, the new Premier of Quebec.

No really, that actually happened:
