What to Know About Celine Dion’s 2024 Olympics Performance: $2M for One Song or No Payment at All, Health Risks & More
The anticipation is over! Celine Dion is set to dazzle the world at the 2024 Olympics with a breathtaking performance alongside another powerhouse from the music industry. While fans are ecstatic about this epic duet, one question lingers: will Dion’s health hold up under the spotlight?
Celine Dion, one of the most iconic voices in the music industry, is set to make a stunning return to the stage at the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony in Paris. This event marks not only a milestone in Dion’s career but also a testament to her resilience following her battle with Stiff-Person Syndrome.
On Friday, July 26, Dion will perform at the Olympics’ opening ceremony, marking her first performance since her health diagnosis two years ago. According to TMZ, she will share the stage with Lady Gaga, both performing Édith Piaf’s beloved classic “La Vie en Rose.”
Gaga, no stranger to the song, famously sang it in her 2018 movie “A Star Is Born.” Dion will be donning a Dior ensemble featuring a pink and black feather cape, adding a touch of glamor to the event.
Initially, TMZ reported that Dion would earn a staggering $2 million for her performance, with all travel expenses, including jets and boats, covered by the Olympics. However, this claim was later contradicted by a spokesperson for the Paris 2024 Games.
Page Six clarified that performers at the Games would not receive a fee for their performance. Instead, the organization will cover technical production costs and other performance-related expenses. This decision highlights the performers’ commitment to being part of a historic event rather than performing for financial gain.
