Sources close to the singer indicate that Celine views the Paris Olympics as a perfect opportunity for her comeback. In an interview with The Sun’s Bizarre column, an insider revealed, “Celine has made no secret of her desire to make it back to the stage, and Paris would be the perfect opportunity for her to do that.”
Unlike her usual full-length concert engagements, this performance would involve singing just one song during the grand opening ceremony, making it a more manageable return for the artist.
Celine Dion To Do A City-Wide Performance
And yet, it is to be expected that Celine will have the honor of performing at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, whose opening ceremony will take place on 26 July and whose closing ceremony will be held on 11 August.
According to the same sources, the broadcasting of the 2024 edition will take place via 80 massive screens in public spaces and is expected to attract more than 600,000 viewers.
This means that, for the first time in history, the opening ceremony, directed by French director Thomas Jolly, will take place outside, not in the confines of an Olympic stadium.

While formal invitation to perform was extended earlier this year, the decision was not yet final.
“Celine is working around the clock to make it happen. She’s made huge leaps and is getting stronger every day, but she’s not out of the woods yet. Everyone has their fingers crossed it is able to happen. It will be quite the moment,” an insider elaborated.

“During this absence, I decided I wanted to document this part of my life, to try to raise awareness of this little-known condition, to help others who share this diagnosis,” she stated.
Celine Dion Exposes Struggles With Stiff Person Syndrome
Celine’s struggle with SPS has been public since she first hinted at her health woes in January 2022 when she canceled the North American dates of her Courage World Tour. This announcement came three months after she had to cancel the start of her Las Vegas comeback residency due to the same health issue.
Reflecting on her journey, she said, “This last couple of years has been such a challenge for me, the journey from discovering my condition to learning how to live with and manage it, but not to let it define me. As the road to resuming my performing career continues, I have realized how much I have missed it, of being able to see my fans.”
Celine recently characterized her SPS as feeling like she’s “being strangled” and stated that she frequently has cramps and has broken some ribs.
