A week of rumours has now been put to rest after Eurovision Song Contest legend Celine Dion failed to make an appearance during this year’s Grand Final. The 2025 music event was held in Basel, Switzerland, with hundreds of thousands flocking to the city to get a slice of the action this week.

Celine Dion made a surprise video appearance at Eurovision on Tuesday, 37 years after winning the song contest for this year’s host nation, Switzerland.

Céline Dion made a rare appearance during the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest with a brief, pre-recorded message. The star won the contest for Switzerland in 1988, and it had been rumoured she would take the stage as the ceremony returns to the country this year.
