Celine Dion Performs at Paris Olympic Games Opening Ceremony
Canadian singer Celine Dion performed to over 300,000 spectators at the opening ceremony for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris in a rare public appearance since ending her regular performances for health concerns in 2021. Ms. Dion sang “L’hymne à l’amour,” or “The Hymn of Love,” on the balcony of the Eiffel Tower with the Olympic rings along the iron sides of the building. Ms. Dion ended her residency in Las Vegas, where she performed regularly, in 2021, and revealed she is suffering from stiff-person syndrome in 2022. The neurological disease causes muscle spasms. “A proud Quebecer from Charlemagne is on stage at the Opening Ceremony!” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a July 26 post on the X platform. “[Celine Dion] is a Canadian icon, an incredible talent, and she overcame a lot to be there tonight. Céline, it’s great to see you singing again.”...
