Celine Dion has promised her millions of fans that she will return to the stage despite the serious health issues she is facing, and it appears her grand comeback will take place at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
According to Page Six, the news that leaked in recent days is confirmed by the singer’s arrival in Paris. The report states that Dion will perform a song at the opening ceremony, marking her return after a three-year hiatus due to her battle with Stiff-Person Syndrome.

Additionally, TMZ reports that despite performing only one song, Dion will receive a massive fee of $2 million.
Dion was seen checking into the Royal Monceau Hotel in Paris on Monday. The 56-year-old singer was dressed in an oversized black blazer and elegant wide-leg pants.
In recent statements, she emphasized her desire to return to live performances. However, when asked about rumors of her singing at the Olympics, she did not respond to journalists.

In her recent documentary titled I Am Celine Dion, she tearfully mentioned: “When I try to sing, my lungs are fine. But what is in front of them is so rigid because of the syndrome I have that I can’t. And it is very hard for me to hear it and show it to you.”
The documentary was praised by critics and captured over a year of filming, showing the star struggling to continue her life and career amid her diagnosis.

As she mentioned in a post in March: “The effort to overcome this autoimmune disorder has been one of the most difficult experiences of my life, but I remain determined to return to the stage one day and live as normal a life as possible. I am deeply grateful for the love and support from my children, my family, my team, and all of you!”
