Celine Dion, a Grammy-winning Canadian singer, enjoyed her first performance in four years, during the 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony in Paris, France, on Friday.

The 56-year-old sick vocalist performed Édith Piaf's 'Hymne à l'amour' at the base of the Eiffel Tower, creating an instantly famous moment.

Dion, who has not performed publicly since 2020 because to her fight with stiff-person's syndrome, sent a statement to commemorate her legendary performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

"I'm honored to have performed tonight, for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, and so full of joy to be back in one of my very favorite cities!," she tweeted.

"Most of all, I'm thrilled to be honoring these incredible athletes and their stories of sacrifice, effort, agony, and resilience.

"All of you have been so focused on your dream, and whether or not you receive a medal, I hope that being here means it has come true for you!

"You should all be extremely proud; we know how hard you have worked to become the best of the best." Stay focused and keep going; my heart is with you!" She wrote.

Dion's second appearance at the Olympic Games.

She performed at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games.

According to TMZ, Dion was compensated for her appearance at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.


According to the TalkTalk Nigeria, Celine Dion swore that her struggle with Stiff Person Syndrome will not prevent her from performing again.

In an interview with Hoda Kotb on the Today Show, she pledged to resume live performances, even if it meant crawling to the stage and talking with her hands.
