MOMENT Fans tear up while watching Celine Dion at Olympics opening ceremony

Fans watching the Paris 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony in a Paris bar teared up as singer Celine Dion appeared on stage on Friday (July 26).

Sightings of Dion in Paris had kicked off rumours that she could be taking part in the opening ceremony but no official confirmation had been given.

The singer is suffering from a medical condition that makes it difficult for her to perform and had not performed in public since March 2020.

Friday’s performance was the second time that the Canadian singer participated in an opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, having performed in Atlanta in 1996.

France needed a true diva to sing Piaf and Québec answered his cousin’s call by sending it’s best to realize one of the greatest comeback ever and outperform herself. Bons baisers du Québec à nos cousins de France !

Celine Dion offered a performance at these Olympics at the height of the global event. Edit Piaf's hymn to love was performed to perfection. I couldn't see anyone else but Céline to play it. It gave me chills. Few artists are capable of such a performance. Rare are the artists capable of conveying an emotion. Bravo and Thank you. She closed the opening of the Games in style.

I was bawling my eyes out in front of the TV - so epic!!

Two beacons of light and hope: Celine and The Eiffel Tower. What a vision to see Celine atop of the Eiffel Tower, singing from the depths of her soul. She stands alone, incomparable in her artistry, one of the few who transcends boundaries, cherished by people of every race, religion, and nation- a global treasure. Her universal appeal is a testament to her extraordinary talent; her ability to rise above personal trials only deepens her connection with the world and sets an example to us all; the epitome of grace and resilience, the perfect choice for the ending of the Olympics Opening Ceremony in a city she adores—an icon whose legacy will endure, and a moment that will be etched in history forever. Privileged to have her in our world.
