Celine Dion Makes Historic Performance at Paris Olympics Opening

The rumors were confirmed and Celine Dion gave a historic performance at the Paris Olympics 2024this Friday (26). In the past few days, rumors had spread on the web about the artist’s performance at the sporting event, but they had not been confirmed.

It is worth remembering that the moment marks the return of the Celine to music, who had been away from the stage since 2022, when he was diagnosed with the disease Stiff Person Syndrome.

The entrance of the singer, considered one of the greatest artists in the music scene of recent times, moved the audience. Shortly after the lighting of the Olympic cauldron, in the shape of a large hot air balloon that took flight, Celine appeared near the Eiffel Tower. Visibly moved, the 56-year-old artist released her powerful voice, moving everyone. She sang “Hymn to Love”, by Edith Piaf.

Previously, Lady Gaga had also performed at the opening of the event. On the banks of the Seine, the pop diva unleashed her voice in the song “My Plume Truc”, by Zizi Jeanmaire.

Celine Dion Fights Rare Diseases

In recent years, Celine Dion has had to face an uphill battle against Stiff Person Syndrome – an autoimmune disease that causes progressive muscle stiffness, in which the patient develops intense and painful spasms, affecting the quality of life.

In the singer’s case, as she herself explained in her recent documentary, the disease had a drastic impact on her ability to control her voice. As a result, she was forced to take a break from her career.

After a few months away from the spotlight, she returned to public life this year. In February, Celine made a surprise appearance Grandmother and, in June, gave interviews to promote the documentary “I am: Celine Dion”available on Prime Video.

Born in 1968, the Canadian singer achieved worldwide fame after releasing several successful albums, such as “Fall into you”, in 1996 and “Let’s talk about love”in 1997. Over the years, he has increasingly won the hearts of millions of fans with his talent and charisma.
