This is one of the big questions of this Basel edition. The Quebec singer, who had offered victory in Switzerland in 1988 And thus the organization of the competition in Lausanne the following year, will it make an appearance?

According to our colleagues from Matin.chthe answer is yes. Several reasons are advanced. first, Céline Dion posted souvenir photos of her Eurovision and the next on her Instagram account last weekend (and, according to them, she rarely talks about her experience in the competition).

Then, more concrete clues: a tribute will be paid to the interpreter of “Do not leave without me” during the first semi-final on May 13 and another niche is planned during the final (but insufficiently long to sing). In video or flesh or bone, the diva will be necessarily part of the part (and Basel will therefore not leave without it).
