Dion’s Olympics performance marked her return to the stage since her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis
Sixty-one years after French singer and entertainer Edith Piaf’s death, Céline Dion is honoring her legacy and marking her own return to music.
Dion sang Edith Piaf’s classic “Hymne A L’Amour” with the Eiffel Tower as her backdrop at the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony. The performance was her first time on stage since announcing her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis in 2022.
Now, fans can enjoy an official live version of Piaf’s staple as Dion’s latest single. The 56-year-old singer previously released “Love Again” to coincide with the release of the 2023 film of the same name, her only other single since her diagnosis.
Her return to the stage was momentous, as she also said in her interview that returning to the studio was “very, very, very challenging,” admitting that she was surprised singing was suddenly “harder.”
