The Canadian songstress, who’s been sidelined by stiff person syndrome and unable to perform, will reportedly make her comeback during the opening ceremony.

Variety was first to report Dion is poised to perform — and it’s rumored she’ll be singing alongside Lady Gaga. The report followed weeks of rumors Dion had been secretly prepping for the event. Then on July 23 she was photographed outside a hotel in Paris.

French journalist Thierry Moreau said Dion rehearsed “La Vie en Rose,” the famous Édith Piaf song, as a duet — and will be dressed in Dior, a pink and black feather cape, for the main event.

Dion, known for hits including “My Heart Will Go On,” publicly revealed her diagnosis with the neurological disorder, which causes painful muscle spasms and affects her ability to walk and sing, in 2022. She halted her tour schedule but vowed to get “back onstage, even if I have to crawl.”

It seems Dion, who shared her health struggle in Prime Video’s recent I Am: Celine Dion doc, actually teased an Olympic performance in her April Vogue France interview, saying, “I’ve chosen to work with all my body and soul, from head to toe, with a medical team. I want to be the best I can be. My goal is to see the Eiffel Tower again!”
