Celine Dion made an emotional return to the stage on Friday at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.
Following Lady Gaga and a flurry of European singers, Dion’s eagerly anticipated performance closed the ceremony. As the torch was lit and floated into the sky, Dion, dressed in a glittering, bead-adorned dress, performed on the base of the Eiffel Tower, giving a powerful rendition of Edith Piaf’s “Hymne A L’Amour.” The weather couldn’t slow down the charged performance, which featured Dion next to a piano awash with rain. The singer concluded on a touching note, showing visible emotion as it came to an end.
WE ARE SPEECHLESS.
