Celine Dion dazzled her audience by singing The Hymn to Love, on the Eiffel Tower, during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games. The conditions of her performance were extreme.
The fans are waiting for it. In March 2020, Celine Dion was forced to cancel her Courage World Tour due to health problems. For more than ten years, the artist has suffered from stiff person syndrome, which prevents him from doing long shows, but also from singing. If his physique is disturbed by spasms, his voice has also changed due to the illness. Celine Dion can no longer reach the notes that made her successful as easily and if she wants to continue singing, she must adapt to her vocal cords. In a documentary, broadcast on the Prime Video platform, the artist decided to reveal his daily life with the illness and certain scenes had deeply upset his fans. But Celine Dion wants to get back on stage and she proved that she was capable of it by singing The hymn to loveon July 26, during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games.
