Pop superstar Celine Dion will perform during the televised Stand Up To Cancer benefit show.

Our sister station JOY TV  will join a number of Canadian channels airing the  one-hour special on September 9th – which also features appearances by celebrities including Ben Affleck, Matthew McConaughey and Emma Stone.

You’ll find JOY TV on Rogers at Channel 173.

Dion’s husband and manager Rene Angelil died in January after a lengthy battle with cancer – and the superstar singer put her career on hold several times – to help care for him.

Stand Up To Cancer is being executive-produced by movie star Bradley Cooper, who lost his father to lung cancer in 2011.

The charity behind the fundraising broadcast has raised more than US$370 million – since launching in 2008.
