Celine Dion is set to perform alongside Lady Gaga at the Paris Olympics’ opening ceremony this Friday, where they will sing Édith Piaf’s timeless hit, “La Vie en Rose,” according to TMZ. The performance will be particularly special as it marks Dion’s return to the stage following her 2022 announcement that she was diagnosed with Stiff-Person Syndrome.
Thierry Moreau shared on social media platform X this Wednesday that Dion will be dressed in a striking Dior outfit, featuring a pink and black feather cape. Meanwhile, Lady Gaga is no stranger to “La Vie en Rose,” having performed it memorably in the 2018 film “A Star Is Born.”
For her single song performance, Dion will receive an impressive $2 million. Additionally, all her travel expenses, including jet and boat transport, are being covered by the Olympics organizers.
This event is not just a performance for Dion but represents a significant moment in her career. It follows her commitment made in her recent documentary, “I am: Celine Dion,” to return to performing despite her health challenges. The Olympics offers a global stage fitting for her comeback, promising an inspiring moment for fans worldwide.
