'Tonight, Celine honored one of her very favorite designers, Elie Saab, as he celebrated 45 years in the business. Celine performed two songs for Mr. Saab as part of 1001 Seasons, a television special broadcast as part of Riyadh Season: her iconic hits 'The Power of Love' and 'I’m Alive'," Celine wrote on Instagram, sharing pics from the night. 

In July, Celine performed 'Hymn to Love' by Edith Piaf at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. 

"I’m honored to have performed tonight, for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, and so full of joy to be back in one of my very favorite cities!" she wrote on X. 

"Most of all, 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!  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! - Celine xx…"," she added. 

Celine has been battling Stiff Persons Syndrome. She released a heartbreaking Amazon Prime documentary on June 25, showing the struggles she has faced over the years as she lives with the condition. 

In the documentary, the singer can be seen trying to sing when her voice breaks down several times. This led to her crying and explaining: "And that's what happens."

The 56-year-old goes on to share how difficult it has been to see her health deteriorate and the effect it has had on her singing.  "And it's very difficult for me to hear that and to show this to you," she says in the documentary. 

The singer adds that she doesn't want people hearing her sing like that. "I don't want people to hear that." 

Since the documentary was released, Celine has made a great comeback.
