Pharrell Williams was a shock addition to the Olympic torch-bearing relay in Paris immediately (July 26), becoming a member of Snoop Dogg and others because the flame traveled from Marseille to the French capital. Celebrities together with Salma Hayek, MC Solaar, singer Patrick Bruel, and drag queen Minima Geste had been among the many earlier torch-carriers, with Williams concluding the ritual to sign the start of the video games.
The official opening ceremony takes place later immediately, reportedly that includes a duet between Woman Gaga and Celine Dion, the latter returning to the stage for the primary time since being recognized with Stiff Individual Syndrome in 2022. Opera singer Marina Viotti can also be rumored to be performing with the French steel band Gojira.
