In July, Dion made her comeback performance during the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony
Before the clock strikes midnight and 2025 commences, Céline Dion is reflecting on the past year.
In a Tuesday, Dec. 31 Instagram post, the French-Canadian singer thanked fans for their support in 2024 — and said she looks forward to the year ahead.
“As we wrap up another year together, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for your unwavering support,” Dion, 56, began, alongside a photo of her side profile, as she looks up and holds prayer hands.
“Your love and energy inspire me every day. I wish you all a joyful holiday season filled with warmth, laughter, and cherished moments with loved ones,” she continued. “Here’s to endless possibilities in the coming year. Wishing you a safe holiday and a fabulous New Year!”
This year, Dion returned to the stage for the first time since revealing her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis in 2022. Her comeback show took place at the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony in July, where she performed Edith Piaf’s classic “Hymne A L’Amour.” She released a live version of the song in October.
“I’m honored to have performed tonight, for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, and so full of joy to be back in one of my very favorite cities,” Dion wrote on Instagram at the time. “Most of all, I’m so happy to be celebrating these amazing athletes, with all their stories of sacrifice and determination, pain and perseverance.”
She added, “All of you have been so focused on your dream, and whether or not you take home a medal, I hope that being here means that it has come true for you! You should all be so proud, we know how hard you have worked to be the best of the best. Stay focused, keep going, my heart is with you!”
Then, in November, Dion hit the stage in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to perform at the 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab fashion show in celebration of the Lebanese designer’s 45-year fashion career.
The “My Heart Will Go On” singer closed out the ceremony with her 1993 hit “The Power of Love” and 2002’s “I’m Alive.”
