Céline Dion is set to make a highly anticipated return to the stage at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics on July 26. This performance marks her first live show since revealing her battle with stiff-person syndrome in 2022, a rare neurological disorder that causes severe muscle stiffness and spasms. According to multiple sources, the iconic singer has already arrived in Paris, where she was seen outside the Royal Monceau Hotel, engaging with fans and signing autographs.

The specifics of Dion’s performance are being kept under wraps, but her return is expected to be a highlight of the ceremony. The 56-year-old singer has expressed profound gratitude for the support she has received from fans throughout her career and during her recent health challenges. "For a long time—for so many years—I have felt the love and the support of my fans around the world," Dion told E! News in June.

Dion's journey back to the stage has been anything but easy.

"It's dealing with what's happening." Despite these challenges, Dion has maintained a positive attitude and a commitment to her craft.
