Céline Dion felt the power of love from around the world.
The “My Heart Will Go On” singer—who’s been battling stiff-person syndrome—took to the stage for the 2024 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony to sing Édith Piaf‘s “Hymne A L’Amour.” And she could not have been more thrilled about the occasion.
“I’m honored to have performed tonight, for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony,” Céline wrote on Instagram July 26 alongside photos from the evening, “and so full of joy to be back in one of my very favorite cities!”
The 56-year-old also shared her admiration for all the Olympians competing in the games, adding, “I’m so happy to be celebrating these amazing athletes, with all their stories of sacrifice and determination, pain and perseverance.”
“All of you have been so focused on your dream, and whether or not you take home a medal, I hope that being here means that it has come true for you!” she continued. “You should all be so proud, we know how hard you have worked to be the best of the best. Stay focused, keep going, my heart is with you!”
