Celine Dion’s only live performance in nearly 5 years now on video

Updated October 11, 2024 - 11:21 am

Celine Dion’s only live performance in nearly five years is now available on her official YouTube page.

Dion dropped the produced video of her singing French favorite Édith Piaf’s “L’Hymne à l’amour” (“Hymn to Love”) at the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics in July.

Aside from a remix of “Set My Heart on Fire (I’m Alive x And The Beat Goes On),” the clip is Dion’s first officially released music since the 2019 album “Courage.” The documentary “I Am: Celine Dion” came out in June.

Off the stage since March 2020 and still working through Stiff Person Syndrome, Dion’s status as a headliner at Resorts World Theatre remains on hold.

The video release was just after posting a video with a special message to Kelly Clarkson, who performed a soaring version of “My Heart Will Go On” last month on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”

Dion recently watched Clarkson’s performance, taped during the show’s “Kellyoke” singing segment.

“I just saw you singing ‘My Heart Will Go On,’ and I’m crying again,” said Dion, who was doing just that. “You were absolutely incredible, fantastic. I loved it so much.”
