2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony: Celine Dion comeback performance reported, igniting the internet
Celine Dion is reportedly set to have a comeback performance at the opening ceremony for the 2024 Paris Olympics on Friday. Dion took a break from performing after being diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome two years ago.
Multiple outlets have reported that Dion will perform at the Olympics, though the details are murky. TMZ reported she would perform at the opening ceremony. Variety reported that Dion "looks set to make her return to the stage at the Olympic Games, and it’s rumored to be during the opening ceremony on Friday." Page Six, citing an unnamed source, confirmed Dion "is expected to perform" — but didn't specify whether it would be at the opening ceremony. Page Six also refuted a claim from an anonymous source in the TMZ article that she'd be paid millions for the performance.
As such, the exact details of the reported performance have been kept under wraps. But it seems safe to assume Dion will soon be back on the world's biggest stage, potentially as early as Friday for the opening ceremony. Dion herself posted on social media that she was in Paris. This all has left fans very excited.
