Now she remembers everything again.
According to reports, Céline Dion will celebrate her musical comeback on Friday at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris – and will collect a handsome sum for it.
According to TMZ, the 56-year-old “All By Myself” singer will receive $2 million to perform a song during the ceremony.
Variety was the first newspaper to report on Dion’s alleged appearance.
The Grammy winner, who has retreated from the spotlight due to her stiff person syndrome, was spotted at the Hotel Royal Monceau in Paris on Tuesday, where she was mobbed by fans.
Lady Gaga, who is also rumored to perform at the opening ceremony, reportedly lives near Dion’s hotel.
Hoda Kotb revealed on Watch What Happens Live earlier this month that Dion almost revealed something to her about her performance at the 2024 Olympics.
Kotb, 59, said they were walking around Dion’s property where they filmed her interview for NBC News, and Kotb asked the singer when her next performance was. That’s when Dion asked her team off camera, “Can I tell her?” but, according to Kotb, they screamed back, “No! No!”
“If it were the Olympics in Paris, wouldn’t that be spectacular? Celine Dion at the Olympics in Paris… that would be incredible, but I don’t know. I know she’ll perform live again,” Kotb said.
“She will perform again. There will always be a date and time for a performance,” the “Today” host added.
Dion has largely stayed out of the public eye since 2021 after she said she was diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, an extremely rare neurological disorder that causes debilitating muscle spasms.
Due to health problems, she even canceled her Courage world tour last year.
The “My Heart Will Go On” singer made a rare public appearance at the film’s premiere in New York City last month and became emotional as she spoke about her supporters.
“I can’t believe how lucky I am to have my fans in my life. Thank you,” Dion said, beginning to cry. “This is my love letter to each and every one of you. I hope to see you all again very, very soon.”
