Celine Dion Sings From The The Eiffel Tower

Power ballad icon Celine Dion closed out the ceremonies from high up on the Eiffel Tower with a moving performance of Edith Piaf's "Hymne A L'Amour."

Dion announced in late 2022 that shed been diagnosed with a rare neurological disease and has since limited her public appearances. This was her first performance since the diagnosis.

NBC commentator Kelly Clarkson noted on the broadcast she had been moved to tears by the performance.
