The beloved and renowned singer, Celine Dion, has landed in the beautiful city of Paris in anticipation of the upcoming Olympic Games' opening ceremony. Fans have been eagerly waiting for her grand comeback, and it seems like their wishes may just come true.
In December 2022, the 56-year-old artist announced that she had been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disorder called Stiff-person syndrome. This condition has caused her to cancel all her tour dates for 2023 and 2024, leaving her fans disappointed. Celine has been open and honest about her difficult health journey, sharing her struggles with debilitating spasms and stiffness that have hindered her ability to perform. In her powerful Prime Video documentary, "I Am: Celine Dion," she opened up even further about her experiences. However, throughout her health battle, one thing has remained constant - her determination to once again sing live.
And now, it seems like her wish may come true. Celine was recently spotted arriving at the Royal Monceau hotel in Paris, the same location where Lady Gaga is staying, according to Variety. The timing of her visit aligns perfectly with the lead-up to this year's Olympics, with the opening ceremony scheduled for Saturday, July 26. Sources have revealed that she has been asked to perform one song at the ceremony, and she is reportedly working hard to make it happen. However, her health is still a concern, and she is not completely out of the woods yet.
The opening ceremony is set to be a spectacular event, with plans for it to take place outside the stadium. The parade will travel down the river Seine and arrive at the iconic Trocadero, which offers a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower. Along with potential appearances from Celine and Lady Gaga, there will be 3,000 other performers taking part in the ceremony.
In a recent interview with Vogue France, Celine spoke about her determination to recover and return to the stage. She sees two options for herself - either giving up and staying at home, or working hard like an athlete to overcome her health challenges. She wants to be the best she can be and fulfill her dream of seeing the Eiffel Tower again. When asked about touring again, she admitted that she has been indecisive about it for the past four years, but her body will ultimately guide her decision.
Describing what it's like to sing with Stiff-person syndrome, Celine compared it to feeling like someone is strangling her or pushing her larynx and pharynx backwards. She also mentioned that it can cause spasms in her abdominal, spine, and ribs, making it difficult to even move her feet. The Agency has reached out to Celine's representatives for a comment on her potential performance at the opening ceremony.
