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.
Two Nigerian music stars, Rema and Asake, have earned a place in former U.S. President Barack Obama’s annual list of favorite songs for 2024.
On Saturday, Obama shared his handpicked selection of tracks from the year, and both artists’ songs were included.
Rema’s hit single Yayo and Asake’s collaboration with Travis Scott on Active made the prestigious list..
The list also saw the inclusion of another African artist, South Africa’s Tyla, who was featured for her song Jump, a track featuring Gunna and Skillibeng.
In addition to the African stars, Nigerian-American singers Shaboozey and Jordan Adetunji also appeared on Obama’s playlist.
Shaboozey’s A Bar Song and Adetunji’s Kehlani were celebrated for their unique sound, adding diversity to the mix.
As expected, the list also featured big names from the global music scene, with legendary artists like Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Karol G all making an appearance.
These mainstream stars continue to dominate the music industry, but Obama’s inclusion of emerging artists such as Rema and Asake shows his appreciation for a variety of musical genres.
On sharing his list with his followers via X (formerly Twitter), Obama encouraged fans to explore the tracks, saying, “Here are my favorite songs from this year!
Check them out if you’re looking to shake up your playlist, and let me know if there’s a song or artist I should make sure to listen to.”
