Celine Dion Shares Farewell Snap After Iconic Performance At The Paris Olympics: ‘Dream Come True’

Celine Dion finally fulfilled her desire to perform on the Eiffel Tower after her career became bleak due to Stiff Person Syndrome.

Celine sang wearing a heavily bejewelled silver dress that covered most of her body but accentuated her gorgeous curves at the same time. The audience and social media were agog with admiration as they watched her rise above her health challenge to take to the stage once again.
