Celine Dion’s highly anticipated performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony marked a triumphant return to the stage, following a four-year hiatus due to her brave battle with stiff person syndrome.
The legendary Canadian singer mesmerized the audience with a poignant rendition of Edith Piaf’s “Hymne à l’amour” at the iconic Eiffel Tower, bringing the ceremony to a close.
This performance was reportedly secured with a $2 million fee, underscoring Dion’s enduring appeal.
Notably, this was her second Olympic appearance, having previously performed at the 1996 Atlanta Games, further solidifying her status as a global music icon.
