Thorsten Schorn had a nased leased at the ESC 2025 that the audience should still have a very special performance: supposedly Celine Dion is ready for a appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest.
The organizer has not yet published concrete details – however, the rumor is already dealing with the whole evening that the Canadian singer is in Basel and that an appearance is planned. What do you sing and where you will appear? Everything else a big secret.
Celine Dion at the ESC 2025? Thorsten Schorn chats from the sewing box
In their moderation for FM4, Jan Böhmermann and Olli Schulz mentioned several times that Céline Dion is expected. When Schulz briefly left the cabin during the break, moderator Thorsten Schorn passed to chat briefly with friend and colleague Böhmermann. There he revealed: “I have just leased it”. Then Böhmermann wanted to know where to appear. Schorn suspects that she will sing next door in the stadium-not in the ESC arena.
Celine Dion has a significant connection to the Eurovision Song Contest: She won the competition in 1988. Although she is Canadian, she appeared at the ESC in Dublin as a representative of Switzerland with the song “Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi”. The appearance at the ESC was one of the first major steps on the way to her later global fame.
Is Celine Dion fit enough for a performance?
In her moving documentation, Celine Dion spoke openly about her health challenges, in particular about the diagnosis of the so-called Stiff-Personal Syndrome (SPS), a rare neurological autoimmune disease. This disease leads to painful muscle cramps and considerable movement restrictions that not only make it difficult to sing, but also make everyday activities. The documentary shows how profound symptoms influence their everyday life and how much they suffer from the loss of their usual physical control.
Despite the severity of her illness, Celine Dion also conveyed hope and determination in the documentation. In it, she spoke about her tireless will to return to the stage – a goal that she already achieved last year at the Olympic Games in Paris.
