Watch Celine Dion’s epic comeback for Paris Olympics, performing from Eiffel Tower

Celine Dion made her triumphant return at the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony – watch footage below.

Viewers around the world were moved by Dion’s performance of of Edith Piaf’s ‘L’Hymne A L’Amour’, notably her first live performance since she revealed she suffers from stiff person syndrome (SPS).

Reflecting on the moment, the ‘My Heart Will Go On’ singer took to X/Twitter to write: “I’m honored to have performed tonight, for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, and so full of joy to be back in one of my very favorite cities! Most of all, I’m so happy to be celebrating these amazing athletes, with all their stories of sacrifice and determination, pain and perseverance.

“All of you have been so focused on your dream, and whether or not you take home a medal, I hope that being here means that it has come true for you! You should all be so proud, we know how hard you have worked to be the best of the best. Stay focused, keep going, my heart is with you! – Celine xx…”

Dion last took to the stage in 2020 in New York, and was set to embark on a world tour last year, but was forced to axe all scheduled dates due to her condition, which affects the brain and spinal cord, causing causes muscle stiffness, posture problems, sensory issues, as well as painful spasms.

Dion has been unflinching open about its affect on her voice in her documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, telling documentarians: “I can’t use my voice yet,” crying as she admitted: “Music… I miss it a lot. But also, the people. I miss them.”

Now, her fans have reacted to her return to the stage, with one writing: “Even the sky was crying listening to Celine Dion sing again.”
