Celine Dion, the iconic music legend, was met with an overwhelming reception from hundreds of fans outside her hotel in Paris. The emotional scenes captured the proud moment as she defied her Stiff Person Syndrome in the city of love.
Dressed head-to-toe in a stunning Dior ensemble, the 56-year-old singer waved to her adoring fans from the roof of her car as she left her hotel in the capital. The French Girl style was perfectly embodied by Celine, and her public outing garnered a reaction reminiscent of Princess Diana's popularity, with cheers and applause from her supporters.
As she made her way through the crowd, Celine blew kisses and wore a radiant smile, basking in the incredible moment. It was a rare sight to see her in recent years, as she has been away from the spotlight following her diagnosis with the debilitating disease. A heartwarming video shared on social media captured the Canadian singer's warm reception, with fans declaring her a "queen" and praising the gentle behavior of the crowd.
Celine publicly announced her health issues at the end of 2022, which forced her to cancel a string of shows in order to recover. Since then, she has been tracking her journey with the disease through a documentary titled "I Am: Celine Dion." In the documentary, she reveals that she almost lost her life due to the rare autoimmune neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms.
Her return to the spotlight this month has sparked rumors of a comeback performance at the Olympics opening ceremony. It is said that Lady Gaga will also be performing on Friday, as the two stars have been staying at the same hotel - the Royal Monceau Hotel near the Champs-Élysées. Fueling speculation, a French journalist named Thierry Moreau claimed that the pair even rehearsed a duet of Édith Piaf's famous song "La Vie en Rose."
Adding to the excitement, French sports minister Amélie Oudéa-Castéra hinted on a morning show that Celine's presence in Paris was no coincidence. She said, "There are a multitude of possible roles in an opening ceremony," further fueling the rumors.
If Celine does perform, it will be her first since revealing her health struggles. The line-up for the opening ceremony is being kept under wraps, with only French singer Aya Nakamura confirmed so far. However, the powerhouse vocalist herself took to Instagram this week to express her love for the city, saying, "Every time I return to Paris, I remember there's so much beauty and joy still to experience in the world. I love Paris, and I'm so happy to be back! Thank you to our wonderful friends at The Louvre!"
Paris has been buzzing with celebrity sightings in the lead-up to the Olympics, with stars like Zendaya, Anna Wintour, Sir Mick Jagger, and Serena Williams attending an event at Fondation Louis Vuitton. The A-listers, dressed in their finest designer outfits, were seen having a good time with each other, adding to the excitement for the opening ceremony.
The highly anticipated ceremony will begin at 6:30 pm UK time tomorrow and will involve 10,500 athletes sailing along the River Seine. It is expected to be a historic event, and has already been described as "like no other." It's definitely one not to be missed.
