Grammy-winning artist Celine Dion is set to captivate audiences once again as she prepares to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics on July 26, confirmed E! News.
This performance marks a significant return for the iconic singer, her first since revealing diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome in 2022.
Despite the challenges posed by her health condition, Dion, renowned for hits like 'My Heart Will Go On' and 'Because You Loved Me', has remained steadfast in her commitment to music and her fans.
Arriving in Europe ahead of the highly anticipated event, Dion was recently spotted outside the Royal Monceau Hotel in Paris, warmly greeting fans and signing autographs, according to E! News.
While details of her performance remain closely guarded, the 56-year-old singer has expressed gratitude for the unwavering support of her global fan base throughout her career and particularly during her health struggles.
Speaking to E! News in an earlier interview, Dion shared, "For a long time--for so many years--I have felt the love and the support of my fans around the world. They helped me to get where I am today."
The upcoming Olympic ceremony promises to be a poignant moment for Dion, who has devoted herself to music since her early years and continued to perform despite personal hardships.
Since December 2022, Dion has largely withdrawn from public life following her diagnosis with Stiff Person Syndrome, a condition characterised by uncontrollable muscle spasms that severely impact mobility.
The singer was compelled to postpone and eventually cancel her 2023 tour dates due to the debilitating effects of the disorder.
