It’s no secret Céline Dion’s performance from the Eiffel Tower during the rain-soaked opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics has won universal acclaim.
But now a report from a French TV station has revealed Dion’s performance was also inspirational and heroic for another reason: she sang live against the advice of the event’s musical director and amid concerns about her health, given she was diagnosd in 2022 with a rare autoimmune condition called Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), which can make singing extremely difficult.
It was Dion’s first live performance in over a year — with hundreds of millions of people watchng worldwide.
