The official opening of the Paris Olympics is set for a first-of-its kind ceremony with thousands of athletes sailing down the river Seine and even more spectators lining its banks to witness the spectacle. Céline Dion and Lady Gaga have been spotted in the city, rumored to be special guests of the event. NBC’s Tom Llamas reports for TODAY.
Bienvenue à Paris, Céline Dion! Speculation is rampant that Dion will take the stage at the Olympic opening ceremony in Paris on July 26, which would mark the first time she has performed in public in years following her stiff person syndrome diagnosis. The rumors come amid multiple Instagram posts from Dion following her arrival in Paris. Dion, 56, seemed to hint in recent months that she may be making an appearance in Paris sometime soon.
In December 2022, she revealed she had been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological condition that can cause muscle stiffness, sensitivity to noise and touch, emotional distress, and severe muscle spasms, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. In May 2023, the singer canceled all remaining dates of her 'Courage World Tour' due to her illness.
