There has long been speculation and doubts about her state of health, but now she has actually made her comeback: Céline Dion, who has been seriously ill for years and has hardly performed at all, brought the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Paris to a crowning conclusion with a spectacularly moving performance!

The French-Canadian has been known to suffer from stiff person syndrome for many years - a nervous disorder in which the patient's muscles repeatedly stiffen and cramp, causing great pain. But at least for the glamorous opening of the Games in Paris, which she loves so much, the now 56-year-old Dion put up with it ...

Veritable goosebump moments
And the gamble paid off: Singing Édith Piaf's famous "Hymne à l'amour" from the Eiffel Tower with watery eyes, Dion, clad in a glittering silver dress, provided veritable goosebump moments at the end of the long but impressive opening day of the Paris Games ...

Even though Dion's four years without performing since 2019 were not noticeable, her voice lit up the evening in Paris just as much as she used to - although it had been rumored that the illness could have had an impact on her singing.

Incidentally, Dion had already enhanced an Olympic opening ceremony with her singing skills in 1996. In Atlanta, she once performed "The Power Of The Dream".
