As the world eagerly anticipates the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, organisers are pulling out all the stops to create a memorable spectacle, per uproxx.com. Recent promotional campaigns featuring collaborations between top athletes and musicians have already generated significant buzz. Now, an exclusive report by Variety suggests that the opening ceremony may feature a performance by none other than Canadian superstar Celine Dion.
The news has taken fans by surprise, given Dion’s recent health struggles. In December 2022, the “My Heart Will Go On” singer revealed her diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome, leading to the cancellation of her world tour. However, Dion has been making steady progress and has made several public appearances in recent months, including at the Grammy Awards.
Adding fuel to the speculation, Dion was reportedly spotted in Paris on July 22, just days before the Olympics are set to begin. While neither Dion’s team nor Olympic organisers have officially confirmed the rumour, fans are buzzing with excitement at the possibility.
Interestingly, Dion may have hinted at this performance months ago. In an April interview with Vogue France, she expressed her desire to see the Eiffel Tower again, stating, “I’ve chosen to work with all my body and soul. From head to toe, with a medical team. I want to be the best I can be.”
If confirmed, Dion’s performance would undoubtedly be a highlight of the opening ceremony, showcasing not only her incredible talent but also her remarkable resilience in the face of adversity.
