Celine Dion seems to be getting a hefty paycheck for her performance during Friday’s Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
According to reports by TMZ, the 56-year-old Grammy winner is receiving a massive fee of $2 million for her performance, and that is just for one song. Reports of Dion’s performance at the opening came after the superstar was seen checking into the Royal Monceau Hotel in Paris on Monday, with an insider confirming her involvement in the ceremony to Page Six.
Dion’s gig at the opening of one of the biggest sporting events in the world marks her onstage comeback after years of hiatus due to stiff person syndrome, a condition that causes her to experience muscular spasms.
The “My Heart Will Go On” singer paused her Las Vegas residency back in 2021 due to the condition. Despite the severity of the seizures she faces from time to time, Dion has been planning to perform for her fans once again.
