Céline Dion has pledged to resume performing following her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis revelation. Speculation abounds that Dion’s grand return might align with the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Sun alleges she’s been extended an offer. But do these rumors hold water? Hoda Kotb shared her insights on WWHL.
Kotb, who recently spent time with Dion filming a primetime interview special in June, divulged to Andy Cohen that Dion nearly revealed her future performance plans. “They were shooting us doing that walk-and-talk,” Kotb recounted, “and her manager was off-camera. And I go, ‘So what’s going on, when are you performing again?’ And she goes, ‘Can I tell her?’ And her manager goes, ‘NO!'” This exchange led Kotb to surmise that a clandestine date is likely already scheduled.
Kotb’s WWHL co-guest Savannah Guthrie posits it must be the Olympics. Cohen, however, remains skeptical. “I think it’s not gonna be [the Olympics],” he opined, “and here’s why: I think it would be amazing, but my understanding is that this is something that she can’t control.” Cohen argues that the Olympics’ rigid structure may not accommodate the flexibility Dion requires for a potential comeback. Kotb, noting Dion’s improved medication regimen, believes the world is brimming with possibilities – including a performance in the City of Light.
