Lady Gaga is taking over the Olympic stage.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the singer is set to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games this Friday (July 26). Other rumored artists speculated to perform include Celine Dion, Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande and French singer Aya Nakamura, though none have been confirmed.


Meanwhile, TMZ is reporting that Gaga will perform a duet of Édith Piaf’s classic “La Vie en Rose” with Dion, though that report remains unconfirmed. If the “My Heart Will Go On” icon takes the stage, it will mark Dion’s first performance since she cancelled the dates on her North American Courage world tour before revealing she is fighting Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that causes severe muscle spasms.

Earlier this week, the pop superstar was photographed waving and blowing kisses to fans in the City of Light as she stood next to her car, dressed in a low-key baseball cap, sunglasses and leathery jacket. A fan video captures Gaga greeting admirers while peeking out of the vehicle’s sunroof, holding up a hand heart.

Gaga’s trip to France comes in the midst of her teasing that her upcoming seventh album is in the works. A few days prior, she shared photos from the studio and wrote, “Happy as ever making music … feel so grateful, heart is peaceful. It’s like meditation. I can’t wait for you to hear what I’m working on.”

Dave Grohl Explains Why Foo Fighters Moved On From Josh Freese

"We called, as a band, all of us called, it wasn't just me," Grohl told Zane Lowe.

Dave Grohl has addressed Josh Freese’s departure from Foo Fighters for the first time, explaining that the decision to move on from the drummer was a collective one that “didn’t happen overnight.”

Speaking in a new interview with Zane Lowe, Grohl reflected on the band’s internal discussions following Freese’s exit last year. Freese, who stepped in as Foo Fighters’ drummer in 2023 after the death of Taylor Hawkins, revealed in May that he had been let go from the group, writing on Instagram that the band had decided “to go in a different direction with their drummer” and that “no reason was given.”
