Celine Dion to Earn $2 Million for Exclusive Olympics Opening Ceremony Performance
Celine Dion is set to earn a substantial $2 million (approximately N3 billion) for a special comeback performance at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, scheduled for July 26.
TMZ reports that this significant payment reflects the high profile of her appearance at the prestigious event. The renowned Canadian singer, who has been on a career hiatus due to her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS)—a rare and debilitating neurological disorder—will make a highly anticipated return to the stage.
Ahead of her performance, Dion made a notable visit to the Royal Monceau Hotel in Paris, fueling excitement for her return. This performance will be a major highlight of the Olympic opening ceremony and marks Dion’s first major public appearance since taking a break from her career to focus on her health.
Dion, now 56, has previously shared her deep desire to revisit Paris and experience the city’s iconic landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower.
Her recent appearance at the 2024 Grammy Awards marked her first public outing in some time, making her upcoming performance at the Olympics a particularly significant moment for her fans and the global audience.

Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
