Céline Dion, the superstar and pop icon, has been absent from the stage since she announced in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with Stiff-Person Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder.

However, it seems that she is ready to resume her musical journey and reconnect with fans. Just a day ago, rumors began circulating about her possible appearance at the 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony.

The event will be available for viewing both via streaming and cable, making it one of the most anticipated of the year due to the artists who might be present, such as Lady Gaga, who would perform a French classic.

Le Parisien, a popular French newspaper, reported that the show by the “Ashes” and “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” singer could be 100% true, as she is Québécoise and often sings in French, which not all artists can do.

Journalist Thierry Moreau reported that she would perform a cover of “La vie en rose” by Édith Piaf at the event. This would be her first live performance since she was diagnosed with Stiff-Person Syndrome in 2022.

How much would Celine Dion charge for her performance?

Many media outlets have confirmed her presence at the Olympics Opening Ceremony, stating that the singer will receive a million-dollar sum for performing “La vie en rose” by Edith Piaf alongside Lady Gaga.

TMZ reported that she will be paid $2 million. This amount is for just one song. Therefore, if she were to have another type of performance, they would need to pay her even more.

This detail has generated even more anticipation for the show, as it is expected to be one of the most memorable moments. A columnist from Estelle Midi reported that the star “will be dressed by Dior in a pink and black feathered cape“.
