No, he does not sing those vocals. It is done by a female vocalist named DO (Dominique van Hulst). She also had a solo release single of this withought DJ Sammy.

"Prior to her success as a recording artist Do was singing a lot of radio commercials. One such commercial was produced by a man named Yanou . He conveniently arrived in Do’s life around the time that she was quite rightly feeling that she’d sung a little bit of everything, from pub rock to light opera, and now needed to knuckle down and find her own distinctive voice. Yanou suggested a cover of Bryan Adams’ early 80’s ballad Heaven. His love of trance inclined him to a heavily modified dance version of the song, but Do wisely insisted that she also record a version that was true to the original. By the time the double-A side was done, everyone involved was convinced they’d just created a breakout single. Which was, of course, exactly what happened. Number 1 in the UK, Number 3 in Australia, Number 8 on the US charts (and the only artists in history to have two versions of the same song simultaneously chart), Top 10 everywhere else!
Do should have been in that heaven she was singing about, except for the unfortunate fact that her name was nowhere to be seen on the label which read, instead, "DJ Sammy and Yanou". DJ Sammy had joined the team for this one project. His label licensed the record. Presto! No Do. Still, she hit the road to promote Heaven, spending a year in America alone. "Everywhere I went, people asked me if I was DJ Sammy," she remembers. "It takes away your positive energy." Still, she kept on Do-ing, performing in clubs with two back-up dancers, doing all the promotion, getting none of the credit, learning to be stoical. "In the end, I never wanted to be a trance artist, and I still got credit for being a good singer, having a hit and being able to go on as a pop artist."
Hope that helps.
