‘Sensational’ Celine Dion is set to perform at the Paris Olympics and she will sing in French to honor the City of Lights in her first show since being diagnosed with incurable stiff-person syndrome over two years ago.
The 56-year-old singer from Canada sent fans into a frenzy this week when she showed up in the French capital this week, as she was seen being mobbed by fans amid rumors she would ring in the opening ceremony.
HOW MUCH SHE WILL BE PAID FOR THE GIG
Those rumors were confirmed as TMZ reported that Dion cut a blockbuster deal with the Olympics – which will see her paid a staggering $2 million for one show.
Dion’s total bill is reported to be in excess of $4 million, as the Olympics is also said to be footing the bill for private jets, hotel suites, security, and healthcare professionals to help deal with her ailing health.
A source said that not only will the icon return to the stage, but she will also perform in French to honor the Olympic hosts and her own French-Canadian roots.
