The Games saved Dion for the end of the four-hour-long event, when she performed French singer Edith Piaf’s 1950 song Hymne à l’amour from the balcony of the glowing Eiffel Tower after the Olympic torch was lit. Viewers were quick to praise the performance on social media, posting that Dion’s singing was beautiful, inspiring and a “triumphant comeback.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Céline, it’s great to see you singing again.” Trudeau called her “a Canadian icon” and “an incredible talent” who “overcame a lot to be there tonight.” The My Heart Will Go On singer, who has won five Grammys and 20 Juno Awards, stepped away from the spotlight in 2022 after being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, which severely limited her movement and hampered her ability to sing and perform. The documentary I Am: Celine Dion, released in June, followed Dion’s journey to recovery and her hopes of singing live again. Rumours had been swirling for days that Dion would perform after she was spotted Tuesday outside Le Royal Monceau hotel in Paris, greeting fans and posing for pictures, and French President Emmanuel Macron and other officials spoke about her arrival. A French journalist posted on X (formerly Twitter) that Dion and Lady Gaga had rehearsed a different Piaf song, La vie en Rose, together as a duet. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Charron, de Grasse lead Canada in rainy trip down Seine as Céline Dion closes Paris 2024 opening ceremony next post ترودو يعلّق على ظهور سيلين ديون في حفل افتتاح الأولمبياد You may also like At the border, both Canada and the U.S.... 19 ديسمبر، 2024 Celine Dion steps into the limelight with JLo... 15 نوفمبر، 2024 Badia Fahs from Dahiyeh : A walk through... 11 أكتوبر، 2024 Nasrallah’s killing shatters Hezbollah’s aura of invincibility 11 أكتوبر، 2024 Charron, de Grasse lead Canada in rainy trip... 27 يوليو، 2024 Two women were detained at Toronto Airport with... 24 يوليو، 2024 Nicole Kidman honoured with AFI Life Achievement Award 29 أبريل، 2024 Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga to Kingdom of... 29 أبريل، 2024 Megan Thee Stallion: Cameraman accuses rapper of ‘hostile’... 24 أبريل، 2024 ‘Lost’ Gustav Klimt painting to be auctioned 24 أبريل، 2024
