Is Celine Dion set for an astonishing return to sing at the Olympics after fears she would never perform again?

Stricken Celine Dion, the Queen of Power Ballads, could be set to make a sensational comeback and open the Olympic Games next month.

There are even claims –strongly denied by the Elysee Palace – that President Emmanuel Macron has chosen the stars to perform on the day and offered them £2.3 million out of state coffers. She said she felt she had two choices: ‘Either I train like an athlete and work super hard, or I switch off and it’s over, I stay at home, listen to my songs, stand in front of my mirror and sing to myself.’ It was reported in French satirical newspaper Le Canard Enchaine last week that Ms Dion and French-Malian singer Aya Nakamura were hotly tipped to open Paris 2024.
