The Summer Games kicked off in Paris Friday, and forthe first time the opening ceremony was held outside of a stadium.made a triumphant return Friday with a very public performance: closing out the Paris Olympics' opening ceremony from the Eiffel Tower.
On a page dedicated to Dior's contributions to the opening ceremony, the media guide referred to "a world star, for a purely grandiose, superbly scintillating finale." The rare neurological disorder causes rigid muscles and painful muscle spasms, which were affecting Dion's ability to walk and sing. In June, at the premiere of the documentary "I Am: Celine Dion," she told The Associated Press that returning required therapy, "physically, mentally, emotionally, vocally."
