Guy Sebastian is joining the second season of The Piano.<\/p>\n

The Australian Idol winner will be replacing Harry Connick Jr. as a mentor in the ABC show’s second instalment, which is set to hit screens on March 15.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He will front the series alongside world-renowned pianist Andrew Lam and host Amanda Keller.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Piano sees talented Aussies tinkle the ivories on public pianos around Australia, where, unbeknownst to them, Sebastian and Lam are watching.<\/p>\n

As the everyday pianists tell their stories and show off their skills behind the keys, the mentors must decide which musician from each location will take to the stage for a special finale concert at Sydney Recital Hall.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanna feel the feels, where you\u2019re taking me to weep town, and making me want to dance as well,\u201d Sebastian gushed while appearing in the trailer.<\/p>\n

The new career move comes after Sebastian was praised on social media by one of the biggest names in music.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Celine Dion revealed on TikTok that the 44-year-old singer’s Before I Go features on a playlist of songs she has on repeat.<\/p>\n

“I’m Celine. This is what I got on my playlist, just a little bit, because there’s too many artists and too many songs that I love,” she began the clip, which has amassed 8.4 million views since being posted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the caption, she wrote: \u201cI\u2019m often asked what I\u2019m listening to, so here are a few songs from my playlist lately.”<\/p>\n

\u201cDifferent moods, different moments\u2026but all ones I love.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the video, the 57-year-old listed artists such as Rihanna and Lauren Daigle before name-dropping the beloved Aussie crooner and his 2018 single.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Oh, Guy Sebastian, do you write songs for other people?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

The moment saw Sebastian head to the comments section of the post to gush about the music icon, calling Dion a “queen”.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve watched this clip 1000x. No one comes close to you! Thanks for the shout out Queen,” he penned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Guy Sebastian is joining the second season of The Piano.
