Within a mountain of mobilizing situations, with all the symbolism that the opening of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games brings, one tremendously exciting moment stood out. The protagonist of that powerful force was Celine Dion.
The singer dared to stand on the stage, installed under the mythical Eiffel Tower, to perform an incredible song “The Hymn to Love (Ode to Love)” by Edith Piaf. Of course, the magic of the case lies in the artist’s state of health and her current situation.
Celine has recently confessed that she suffers from a degenerative disease called stiff-person syndrome, which currently has no cure. The singer even took the bold step of recording a documentary about everything she goes through on a daily basis.
Following this disorder, Dion has repeatedly said that she doubted the possibility of returning to the stage, of being able to control her body and share all her quality with the public. That is why those present at the ceremony, and the millions of viewers, exploded with emotion when she sang the first lines.

This performance was undoubtedly the highlight of the day and the images went viral with extreme speed all over the planet. Impeccable, upright and with a very elegant look, Celine bathed the closing of the party in charm.
Regarding the after-effects of the syndrome, Celine said: “I have not defeated the disease, as it is still within me and will always be. I hope we find a miracle, a way to cure it with scientific research, but for now I have to learn to live with it.”.
