Canadian-French singer, Céline Dion, rounded up the opening ceremony of 2024 Paris Olympics with her first performance since she announced her diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome in 2022.
Dion performed “L’Hymne à l’amour” by the French singer Édith Piaf, from a stage at the base of the Eiffel Tower.
American rapper, Snoop Doggy, was also one of the musicians that performed at the colourful opening ceremony where the participants from different countries were aboard different and colourful boats of different shapes and sizes on River Sine.
Also, Lady Gaga kicked off the Olympics opening ceremony performances with a rendition of Zizi Jeanmaire’s “Mon Truc En Plumes” on a set of stairs along the Seine River.
Surrounded by pink feathers, Gaga’s brief set was reminiscent of her Jazz and Piano residency in Las Vegas. It also appeared to pay tribute to Jeanmaire’s performance of the song on the Ed Sullivan Show. After descending the stairs, Gaga kicked on a chorus line and played on a piano.
