American media are certain: Céline Dion will make her big comeback at the Olympic Games.
The rumors have been going around for a while, but according to entertainment site TMZ it is now certain: Céline Dion will perform with Lady Gaga during the opening of the Olympic Games. And that is special news, because the singer has not been doing well for a long time.
Olympic Games Opening Duet
In recent days, Céline Dion and Lady Gaga have been spotted separately in Paris, the city hosting the Games this year. This has led to much speculation: will the two perform together at the opening ceremony of the event?
In the meantime, reliable sources have told TMZ that such a performance is indeed planned. According to the sources, Céline and Lady Gaga are going to perform the song La vie en rose as the opening number at the Olympic Games. In fact, journalist Thierry Monroe reports that the singers have already rehearsed the song together. Céline is said to have worn a glamorous black and pink feather cape by Dior for this. Sounds like the perfect outfit for la diva!
Life in pink
For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what the performance will look like. But we can already imagine a little bit how it will sound: both Céline and Lady Gaga already have the song in their repertoire. That can only be beautiful, right?
Disease
For Céline Dion, this would be her first performance since she announced that she suffers from stiff-person syndrome. Due to this rare neurological condition, the singer struggles with a lot of pain and has not been seen on stage for a long time. “The past few years have been incredibly challenging for me,” she said in a press release. “Because of the journey from discovering my condition to learning to live with it and manage it, but not let it define me.”
The Canadian even decided to make a candid documentary about both her successful career and her health issues. “As I try to resume my career as a performing artist, I realize how much I have missed seeing my fans,” the singer said. “During this absence, I decided I wanted to document this part of my life to raise awareness about this unknown condition and help others who have been diagnosed with it.” The documentary I Am: Celine Dion is available on Prime Video.
