Outrage as Celine Dion is paid €2 million to perform one song at the opening ceremony of The Olympics 2024 in ParisÂ
There is now little doubt that Céline Dion will participate in the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games. Although her name has been mentioned for several weeks, the Canadian star arrived in the capital on Monday, July 22. After going to Dior early in the afternoon to take part in a fitting session, her presence in Paris is not insignificant. This Wednesday, the Minister of Sports and the Olympic and Paralympic Games confided on TF1 that her presence in Paris “is not a coincidence” .
The minister concedes that there are, however, “a multitude of possible roles in an opening ceremony .” But according to TMZ , there is no doubt that the star will perform on stage on Friday, July 26. And the American media outlet goes even further: she would be paid two million dollars for a single song. The organizing committee would also pay her travel expenses and cover other expenses for her family, friends, etc. “They pay a huge amount, a ridiculous amount ,” a source told TMZ.
Why would the Olympic Organizing Committee be banking so much on the Canadian star? According to her close friends, she feels fine, despite the state of health she displayed in the documentary “I am: Celine Dion”, broadcast on Prime Video. Suffering from “stiff person syndrome” , a rare autoimmune disease, the star has had multiple attacks, which has forced her to cancel dozens of concerts. But she has promised: she will return to the stage. At the Olympics? Is there a better place and arena for expression than the biggest event on the planet?
