Terminally ill Celine Dion performed at Paris Games opening ceremony for mind-blowing fee

The famous Canadian singer Celine Dion, who is battling an incurable disease - stiff-person syndrome - performed live on stage for the first time in 5 years. She closed the 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony in Paris. Back in 1996, the artist already staged an unforgettable show on the occasion of the Olympics in Atlanta, and this year she consolidated her success.

As journalists have learned, she was paid a huge fee for performing a single French song. The reported sum is $2 million dollars (about 80 million hryvnias). A video of the performance appeared on YouTube.

Standing at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, Celine Dion performed the famous song Hymne A L'Amour, sung by the late Edith Piaf, accompanied by an orchestra.

All the lights were turned off, leaving only the symbol of the Olympic Games - 5 rings. Underneath them, the singer passionately performed the song in a luxurious sparkling dress.

The weather at that time was not very good. When she was singing, it started to rain, so Celine and the pianist had to finish the performance wet.
