WATCH: The Grammy-winning icon Celine Dion captured greeting fans outside the Royal Monceau Hotel in the French capital as Rumors of Her Performing at 2024 Summer Olympics Grow Stronger

The Grammy-winning icon was photographed greeting fans outside the Royal Monceau Hotel in the French capital on July 23. Is Céline Dion going to perform at the 2024 Paris Olympics?

The Grammy-winning icon, 56, was photographed greeting fans outside the Royal Monceau Hotel in the French capital on July 23 amid rumors she’ll return to the stage for the first time since announcing her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis in December 2022.

Dion was seen smiling as she waved to fans and signed autographs at the hotel — hours after Variety reported she’ll perform during this year’s Summer Olympics. Around the same time, TMZ reported the “I’m Alive” singer will take the stage during the opening ceremony on Friday and receive a $2 million paycheck for one song. The Queen of Power Ballads has made several public appearances as of late, most recently during the 2024 Upper Deck NHL Draft at the Sphere in Las Vegas on June 28 to announce the Montreal Canadiens’ fifth-round draft pick.

Before that, she appeared at the premiere of her Prime Video documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, at Alice Tully Hall in New York City. The film chronicles her experience with stiff-person syndrome and hopes to get back to performing in the future.

In an April interview with Vogue France, Dion opened up about when she may sing live again. “I can’t answer that… Because for four years I’ve been saying to myself that I’m not going back, that I’m ready, that I’m not ready,” she told the outlet. “As things stand, I can’t stand here and say to you: ‘Yes, in four months.’ I don’t know… My body will tell me. On the other hand, I don’t just want to wait.”
