In a highly anticipated performance, Canadian singer Celine Dion took to the stage at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France. This marked her first live performance in four years, following her battle with stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder.
The 56-year-old singer delivered a breathtaking performance of Edith Piaf’s 1950 song “Hymne à l’amour” at the iconic Eiffel Tower, bringing the ceremony to a close. According to Media Talk Africa, Dion charged a staggering $2 million for the one-song performance.
This was not Dion’s first time performing at the Olympic Games. She previously took the stage in 1996 in Atlanta, singing “The Power of the Dream.” Her return to the Olympics was highly anticipated, and she did not disappoint.
Dion’s performance was met with widespread acclaim on social media, with fans and followers praising her incredible vocal range and emotional delivery. The hashtags #Paris2024, #Olympics, and #Olympic2024 trended on Twitter, with many users sharing their excitement and admiration for the legendary singer.
The 2024 Olympics in Paris have officially kicked off, and Celine Dion’s performance will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the highlights of the ceremony.
