Celine Dion has been seen greeting fans in Paris.
The sighting of the singer, who was seen greeting fans outside the Royal Monceau Hotel in the French capital, comes after reports from Variety magazine that she will perform at the Olympics Opening Ceremony on Friday.
TMZ reported Celine will sing one song at the lavish ceremony and be paid $2 million (£1.55 million) for her performance.
If the rumours are true, it will be the first time the 56-year-old has sung in public since she announced her Stiff-Person Syndrome diagnosis in December 2022.
In April, the Grammy-award winning singer told Vogue France that she wasn’t sure when she would be able to 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 said.
“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.”
The I’m Alive singer has been seen in public several times in public over the past few months. She first made an appearance at the premiere of her Prime Video documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, at Alice Tully Hall in New York City, where she talked about her experience with the often debilitating illness. Then, on 28 June she was in Las Vegas to announce the Montreal Canadiens’ fifth-round draft pick at the 2024 Upper Deck NHL Draft.
