Céline Dion’s Olympics Comeback: New Details on Opening Ceremony Plans
Céline Dion caused a fan frenzy in Paris returning from her top-secret Olympics rehearsals!
The stage is set for her ultimate comeback at Friday’s opening ceremonies, after she retreated from the spotlight amid her battle with stiff-person syndrome.
Variety’s executive editor of international Elsa Keslassy told us, “We know she’s been planning it for a long time. She has been rehearsing really, really hard some of the performance has been pre-recorded to avoid any technical glitches.”
Lady Gaga is also rumored to be performing, and Keslassy revealed there have been sightings of her rehearsing on the Seine with a floating piano.
Could we see a duet featuring Céline and Gaga?
Keslassy said, “Lots of rumors about a performance of Edith Piaf. She sang Edit Piaf before, actually, in 2015 after the terrorist attacks. I know Lady Gaga is a fan of Edith Piaf, so maybe we will see a duet between the two. That’s kind of the dream.”
The Olympic opening ceremonies will take place on Friday at 10:30 a.m. PT/1:30 p.m. ET.
