What to Know About Celine Dion’s 2024 Olympics Performance: $2M for One Song or No Payment at All, Health Risks & More

The highly anticipated moment is here as Celine Dion prepares to perform at the 2024 Olympics, teaming up with Lady Gaga for a stunning duet. Fans are excited yet concerned about Dion’s health, given her battle with Stiff-Person Syndrome. This performance at the Paris opening ceremony on July 26 will be her first public appearance since her diagnosis two years ago.

Dion and Gaga will perform “La Vie en Rose” by Édith Piaf, with Dion donning a Dior ensemble. While initial reports suggested Dion would be paid $2 million, the Paris 2024 Games clarified that no athletes will receive compensation, though performance-related expenses will be covered.

Dion’s appearance is significant due to her health challenges. Stiff-Person Syndrome causes severe pain and muscle stiffness, posing risks during large events. Despite this, Dion remains committed to her fans, having made a surprise appearance at the Grammy Awards earlier this year. Her performance at the Olympics is set to be a major highlight.
