Aya Nakamura, David Guetta and now ... Céline Dion? Since late April, rumors have been swirling that the Quebec diva could perform at the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on July 26.
Céline Dion, who has been away from the stage due to Stiff Man Syndrome, could make a comeback on this occasion. This neurological disease forced the singer to take a break for several months, a battle she will document in the film I Am: Céline Dion, broadcast on Prime Video on June 25, 2024. Her health seems to have improved, as evidenced by her recent public appearances, and speculation about her participation in the Olympics is intensifying.
Her presence on the cover of Vogue France reinforces the rumour. "I have chosen to work with all my body and soul, from head to toe with a medical team. I want to be the best I can be. My goal is to see the Eiffel Tower again!" she declared in the magazine. Across the Atlantic, in Montreal, the excitement is palpable, knowing that Céline will also be supporting the Canadian Olympic team.
According to Ouest France's research, Le Canard enchaîné has just revealed an internal document from the Olympic Games organizing committee, informing that the French state will pay 2.7 million euros for two "top artists" to perform at the opening ceremony. According to the weekly, the decision, taken by Emmanuel Macron, would designate Céline Dion and potentially Aya Nakamura as the headliners.
See you in July to find out the rest of the story...
