Celine Dion's name getting removed from the Top 200 greatest singers of all time list of Rolling Stone magazine has not settled well with her fandom, who have fought for the same outside the Rolling Stone magazine's office by traveling all the way from Montreal to New York City.
FollowWe all know that Celine Dion is an iconic Hollywood singer who has given many hit songs over so many years.

Playing That is the way it is, from a portable speaker, the group fumed severely at their diva's omission from the list. They then chanted and screamed, "Justice for Celine." All of them lined up outside the offices of the Penske Media Corporation (which also owns Variety) to let the editors know their hearts would not go on after this decision.
In her quote to a leading global entertainment portal, the Redheads founder, Line Basbous, has said, "The list is illegitimate.
