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.
Music executive Ubi Franklin speaks on music and shares how music is actually very risky to get into, and he explains why.
He states that no matter how much you put into music, you are never sure of how much you will get back.
He said “Music is the riskiest business I’ve ever done. You need ₦100m to promote one song. Even if TikTok carries it, you still need money to keep it on the charts because people have short attention spans, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get your money back.”
Popular singer Lil Nas X shares an emotional tribute to his mum.
The singer took to social media and shared: “RIP TO THE BADDEST EVER! LOVE U FOREVER MOMMY. this one’s gonna hurt,” he wrote in the caption.
The rapper shared this over the weekend. No one is really sure of the details, her age, or how or when she died. However, many sympathise with the singer as he loses a parent.
Nigerian actress Mo Bimpe gets emotional online as she states that she was invited to Rakeem, Priscilla Ojo and Juma Jux’s son’s birthday party and had a good time.
She then got emotional, remembering when she was not usually invited to such events because she did not have kids. She always felt sad because of this, so going for this birthday party made her happy.
She added at the end “Please don’t make it harder by excluding people. A woman without a child is not less deserving of love, friendship, inclusion, or celebration. Invite her. Love her. Celebrate with her. You never truly know what someone is carrying behind their smile.”
