Celine Dion will reportedly get paid $2 million to perform during Friday’s Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
According to TMZ , the Grammy winner, 56, stands to earn the big paycheck for just one song.
Dion was spotted checking into the Royal Monceau Hotel in Paris on Monday, with a source confirming to Page Six that she is expected to perform.

She then revealed in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome , a rare neurological disorder that causes painful and progressive muscular rigidity and stiffness.
In her recent documentary, “I Am: Celine Dion,” the “Power of Love” singer gave greater insight into her secret health battle, including showing footage of her having a seizure for several minutes.

After the incident, sports medicine therapist Terrill Lobo — who was treating her — warned that she likely suffered a seizure because her brain “was overstimulated” by her going into the recording studio.
“Well, what am I gonna do?” the “All By Myself” singer then asked.
“… If I can’t get stimulated by what I love, and then I’m gonna go onstage and, like, you’re gonna put the pulse oximeter on me and you’re gonna turn me on my back?”

As part of her promo tour, the “That’s The Way It Is” singer had a sit-down with Hoda Kotb, in which she described what it was like to sing with stiff person syndrome.
“It’s like somebody is strangling you ,” she admitted in the candid interview. “It’s like somebody is pushing your larynx/pharynx this way. …. It gets into a spasm.”
Reps for Dion and the Paris Olympics did not immediately return Page Six for comment.
