Legendary singer Celine Dion will make her much-anticipated return to music at Friday’s opening ceremony of the  2024 Paris Olympics.

According to the outlet, the My Heart Will Go On icon was spotted in the French city on July 22, at the Royal Monceau Hotel close to the Champs-Élysées. However, there has been no formal announcement or information provided about her possible appearance.

Dion is anticipated to return this year, having previously performed The Power of the Dream at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics opening ceremony.

This will be her first appearance since she postponed the dates of her world tour, Courage, in North America and disclosed that she was battling Stiff Person Syndrome, an uncommon neurological condition that results in excruciating muscular spasms.

Fans are ecstatic to see the singer back on stage after hearing that Dion is in Paris and could participate in the Olympic opening ceremony. Fans have used social media to express their delight.

Here are a few of the most amusing responses.
