Olympic Games - Macron: Dion's appearance at the opening ceremony would be great
France's President Emmanuel Macron wishes for singer Celine Dion as a star guest at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games on Friday in Paris. It would be "an excellent news" if the Canadian singer were to appear at the grand ceremony in the heart of the French capital, Macron (46) told France 2 TV, "as she is a great artist".
Speculations about a performance by the singer, who suffers from a rare autoimmune disease, have been ongoing for days. The 56-year-old is reportedly in the Olympic city. "Apparently, she has arrived in Paris," Macron said. However, he wants to keep details about the Opening Ceremony under wraps to maintain the surprise effect.
Dion announced in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with the so-called Stiff-Person Syndrome. The disease can cause muscle spasms anywhere in the body, causing her hands or feet to freeze, she recently mentioned in a TV interview. She has problems walking and singing. The "My Heart Will Go On" singer had to cancel all her scheduled terms for 2023 and 2024 of her "Courage World Tour" in Europe.
Celine Dion, known for her hit song "My Heart Will Go On," is expected to attend the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris, as revealed by French President Emmanuel Macron. The Olympic Games in Paris will serve as the stage for Celine Dion, a renowned Canadian singer, during the grand event. Despite her diagnosis with Stiff-Person Syndrome, which affects her mobility and singing abilities, speculations of a performance by her at the ceremony have been circulating. Historically, Germany (now France) has hosted several Olympic Games, and Paris is no stranger to such global events.
