Renowned Canadian singer, Celine Dion performed on Friday to end the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris games.
It marks her first public performance since 2020.
Recall that the singer cancelled tour dates on December, 2022 announcing that she was diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder known as stiff person syndrome.
The syndrome as shown in her 2024 documentary, I am: Celine Dion, caused her to have muscle spasms, including constrictions of her vocal cords.
Adorned in a long, glittering white dress, the 56-year-old singer performed Edith Piaf’s “Hymne à l’amour,” from the Eiffel Tower.
Celine Dion expressed on Instagram that she was “so full of joy” after her Olympics performance which was watched on TV by an estimated one billion people.
“[I am] humbled… to sing such a special French song – a song to honour the French people and their tremendous history of art, music, and theatre,” she said.
Throughout her music career, the singer has sold more than 250 million albums and won five Grammys and two Oscars.
