Céline Dion makes grand return at Olympics opening ceremony – Paris 2024

CÉLINE DION IS back. The Canadian icon made her grand return to the stage with a surprise rendition of Edith Piaf’s L’Hymne à l’amour at the opening ceremony of Paris 2024. It was her first public concert appearance since revealing that she is living with stiff person syndrome.

The singer belted out the record while standing beneath the illumination of the six Olympic rings on the historic monument. Wearing a shimmering silver gown, she shined brighter than all the lights flashing across Paris.

The IOC described her as spectacular and sparkling. Do you agree?

Dion’s appearance is a significant milestone following her diagnosis with Stiff Person Syndrome, which she revealed in December 2022. In June, the singer vowed that she would return to the stage despite the symptoms of the rare neurological condition taking a toll on her body.

Stiff Person Syndrome can cause stiffness in the body and limbs, as well as debilitating spasms, which also impacts Dion’s vocal cords.

Dion has been undergoing intensive physical therapy and vocal rehabilitation with medication to address her symptoms, which she began experiencing nearly two decades before receiving her diagnosis.
