PARIS – Canadian singer Celine Dion sang from the Eiffel Tower to bring the curtain down on the Paris Olympics opening ceremony on Friday.

The 56-year-old "My Heart Will Go On" singer appeared on a lower tier of the iconic Parisian landmark to perform just moments after French sporting legends Teddy Riner and Marie-Jose Perec lit the Olympic cauldron.

Dion's performance was the final show-stopping act of a four-hour opening ceremony that began with around 7,000 athletes being ferried down the Seine River on an armada of boats.
