But Amélie Oudéa-Castéra wouldn’t confirm whether the Canadian superstar will sing at the opening of the Games on Friday, saying the element of surprise is crucial.

Images circulated Tuesday on social media showed Dion greeting fans in the French capital.

Media outlet TMZ reported Tuesday that the singer will perform at the opening ceremony.

Dion hasn’t performed publicly since revealing her diagnosis of stiff person syndrome in December 2022.
