Céline Dion Returns to the Stage to Perform at the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremonies

Amid her ongoing battle with Stiff Person Syndrome, Céline Dion took the stage at Friday's opening ceremonies.

The singer's show-stopping turn on stage was a full-circle moment nearly 30 years in the making, as Dion opened the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia, with a performance of her song "The Power of the Dream." She voiced a French-language promo for Team Canada back in April 2024, highlighting several of the country's top competitors, like basketball star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, swimmer Maggie Mac Neil and gymnast Ellie Black. Dion also told Vogue France in April 2024 that one of her goals was "to see the Eiffel Tower again," and hinted to Today's Hoda Kotb in her June 2024 interview that she would be getting back on stage soon -- she just couldn't say when.
