Celine Dion returned to her hotel after a marathon day of Olympic rehearsals in Paris to find a surprise concert of her own — courtesy of her fans singing and cheering for her one day before her grand stage comeback.
Check out the vid … the singer had her hand over her heart as she took in the unexpected serenade before heading indoors in the early hours of Thursday.
Celine was rocking a stunning black dress with her hair pulled back in a bun, showing off that big, dazzling smile as she watched the crowd do her thing.
As we reported, Celine’s just a day away from taking the stage with Lady Gaga for the opening ceremony of the Olympics — where they’re both set to perform Édith Piaf‘s classic “La Vie en Rose.”
TMZ broke the news Celine’s gearing up to perform this Friday, pulling in a staggering $2 million for just one song for her first performance since she revealed her Stiff-Person Syndrome diagnosis in 2022.
It’ll definitely be a super empowering moment, and Celine shows no signs of stopping … TMZ broke the story she’s making a grand return to Las Vegas to launch a new residency.
Sources with direct knowledge of the deal tell TMZ … Celine’s in the final stages of negotiating a new residency at Resorts World, which is supposed to start in late 2024 or early 2025. One source said, “It’s basically a done deal. She’s doing it.”
Vegas, here she comes … again!
