Céline Dion was looking fantastic as she made an unexpected appearance at the NHL Draft on Friday night!

The singer, who has been bravely battling stiff person syndrome, appeared at The Sphere in Las Vegas to help the Montreal Canadiens make the fifth overall pick in the first round of the NHL Draft. General Manager Kent Hughes shared:

“To make our 2024 first selection, I’m pleased to invite onstage our No. 1 fan, the one and only, Céline Dion.”

Of course, the My Heart Will Go On artist was greeted by a ton of cheers as she entered in a white dress skirt and top. Everybody loves Céline!
