French President Emmanuel Macron responded to circulating rumors that Céline Dion will sing at Friday’s Olympic opening ceremony , saying he would be “immensely happy” if she performed.
"Apparently she has arrived in Paris, it's great!" Macron told broadcast station Info France 2 in French on Tuesday.
When pressed by newscasters to confirm if Dion will perform, Macron offered a cryptic response, saying, “It would be great news because she’s a tremendous artist. I would be immensely happy if she could be at this opening ceremony like all our compatriots."
"I will not reveal anything, what [opening ceremony director] Thomas Jolly with all his teams have prepared. There is also a surprise," Macron added, with a visible smile.
The opening ceremony would be Dion's first live performance since 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic and stiff person syndrome diagnosis forced the singer to cancel her world tours.
The Paris Olympics would be Dion’s second time singing at an opening ceremony. The Canadian star previously opened the Atlanta 1996 Olympics with her hit “The Power of a Dream.”
