Do you sing Celine Dion at Olympia in Paris?
Since Monday, Céline Dion has been in Paris, and since then, rumors of a comeback performance by the singer have been swirling. French President Emmanuel Macron has hinted, but remains vague. However, there are already rumors about the exorbitant fee of the Canadian.
The rumor mill is churning. Is Céline Dion performing at the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Paris? It is rumored that the Canadian singer is planning her grand comeback there on the coming Friday.
"Apparently, she has arrived in Paris, that's great," explained French President Emmanuel Macron in an interview with radio station France 2. "I would be thrilled if she could be there for the opening ceremony," he continued. However, he would not confirm whether Dion would actually musical accompany the event. "I won't give away what [the leader of the opening ceremony] Thomas Pilly and his team have prepared," Macron added, but he promised: "There's a surprise."
It all still sounds rather vague, but US celebrity portal "TMZ" now claims to have more information. According to this, Dion is reportedly receiving a fee of two million dollars for her one-song performance at the opening ceremony.
Withdrawal due to illness
Céline Dion withdrew from the public eye after her diagnosis of Stiff-Person Syndrome (a rare autoimmune neurological disease). Only recently did she confirm in promotional interviews for her documentary "I Am: Céline Dion" that she was determined to perform again. It remains to be seen whether this will happen on Friday. Lady Gaga is also rumored to be performing at the Olympics opening ceremony as a music act. Could a duet be planned?
It is undisputed that Dion has been in Paris since Monday. Fans have been camping out at the luxury hotel "Le Royal Monceau," where the Canadian superstar is staying. Céline Dion has already taken selfies with some of them and signed autographs, before getting into a waiting car that may have taken her to rehearsals.
The possibility of Céline Dion performing at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games 2024 in Paris has been fueling excitement in the music and entertainment world. Her alleged exorbitant fee of two million dollars for a single-song performance at the event has been the topic of recent reports.
With pop music sensation Lady Gaga also rumored to be performing at the Olympics opening ceremony, speculation about a potential duet between these two legendary artists is surging.
