Olympics Opening Ceremony: Celine Dion To Earn N3 Billion For One Song

Celine Dion is set to make a triumphant return with a one-off performance at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, earning a staggering $2 million (approximately N3 billion) for a single song.

The 56-year-old singer had paused her career after being diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) in 2022, a rare neurological disorder. Now, she is preparing to grace the stage in France, performing one song.

According to TMZ, a source revealed that Celine is “getting ready to take the stage Friday” and will receive $2 million for her performance. This news comes on the heels of her recent stay at the Royal Monceau Hotel in Paris.

Celine has long dreamed of returning to Paris and seeing the Eiffel Tower again. A source confirmed to TMZ that she is “feeling fine” despite her health challenges.

In a recent interview with Vogue France, Celine spoke about her SPS diagnosis and her determination to make a comeback. “I have this illness for some unknown reason. The way I see it, I have two choices.

“Either I train like an athlete and work super hard, or I switch off and it’s over; I stay at home, listen to my songs, stand in front of my mirror, and sing to myself,” she explained.

She continued, “I’ve chosen to work with all my body and soul, from head to toe, with a medical team. I want to be the best I can be. My goal is to see the Eiffel Tower again!”
