You Won’t Believe What Céline Dion and Lady Gaga Did at the Paris Olympics!

Céline Dion made a stunning comeback at the Paris Olympic Games, wowing the crowd with a grand performance.

She closed the ceremony on Friday with a heartfelt version of Edith Piaf’s classic song, “L’Hymne à l’amour,” singing from the first stage of the Eiffel Tower.

Dion was in great shape, her powerful voice hitting every high note perfectly. She looked amazing in a beautiful beaded white gown with tassels, adding to the event’s grandeur.

After her performance, Kelly Clarkson, who was commentating for NBC, was initially speechless. She then called Dion “a vocal athlete” in admiration.

This live performance is Céline Dion’s first concert since she revealed her struggle with stiff person syndrome. This rare condition affects the nervous system, specifically the brain and spinal cord, and is progressive.

In December 2022, Dion, now 56, announced she was stepping back from her career to focus on her health. She explained that the syndrome made it difficult for her to sing like she used to.

Dion’s last live performance was in March 2020 in New Jersey. At the Olympics opening, Lady Gaga also performed a tribute to France’s famous Music Hall star from the 1950s, Zizi Jeanmaire, by singing “Mon truc en plume” along the Seine river.

Last month, Dion opened up about the challenges she faces living with stiff person syndrome while promoting her new documentary ‘I Am: Celine Dion’ on Amazon.

In an interview with NBC’s Hoda Kotb, she described how trying to sing with her condition feels “like somebody is strangling you.” She elaborated on the impact of the syndrome, which causes involuntary spasms and muscle rigidity, affecting various parts of her body, including her abdomen, spine, and ribs.

“I have broken ribs at one point because sometimes when it’s very severe, it can break some ribs as well,” the Grammy-winner shared. Despite these challenges, Dion has not allowed her diagnosis to completely sideline her. She made a notable appearance at the Grammy Awards earlier this year, presenting the final trophy of the evening.

In her documentary, Dion expressed her unwavering determination to return to performing. “If I can’t run, I’ll walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl,” she said. “And I won’t stop. I won’t stop.”

Her return at the Olympics not only marked a significant moment in her career but also showcased her resilience and dedication to her craft, inspiring fans and fellow performers alike.
