Celine Dion will perform on Friday at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, and organizers have opened the vault for her… TMZ has learned.
The icon touched down in Paris on Monday, and sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ that she’s gearing up to take the stage on Friday.
Our sources say she’ll be paid handsomely… $2 million!!! By the way, that’s for just ONE song!

In addition to the fee, the Olympics are footing the bill for the travel, and we’re told — between jets, his large family, boats and other expenses — “They’re paying a fortune. A ridiculous amount.”
We’re told she’s “feeling fine.” This is very important because, as you know, she’s suffering from Stiff Person Syndrome for years. It’s a debilitating disease that causes the body to shut down — sometimes for hours — and is incredibly painful.
In her documentary, “I Am: Celine Dion,” she promised to return to the stage, and there’s no bigger venue than the Olympics opening ceremony.
She told Vogue France in April: “I chose to work with my whole body and soul, from head to toe, with a medical team. I want to be the best I can be. My goal is to see the Eiffel Tower again!”
It’s very likely that Céline will perform right in front of the venue, because the opening ceremony will be held on the banks of the River Seine.
