To kick off this year’s Paralympic Games, France native Christine & The Queens put on a unique performance of the French classic ‘Non, je ne regrette rien’, in which he and a group of Paralympians face off against a group of men in suits. The touching performance ends with both groups coming face to face.

Later in the night, Christine & The Queens closed out the opening ceremony, this time performing a rousing cover of ‘Born To Be Alive’ as fireworks lit up the night sky in France. Check out the performance below.

In April, he released the dreamy new song ‘rentrer chez moi’, which lyrically sees Chris wishing to return home. It was the first single he has released since his 2023 album ‘PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE’.

‘PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE’ was released in June of last year and featured the likes of Madonna, 070 Shake and Mike Dean. In a three-star review of the album — a follow-up to 2022’s ‘Redcar les adorables étoiles’, NME wrote: “the French artist’s fourth studio album is often weighed down by its own folly.”

In 2022, the artist performed at Paris’ Cirque d’Hiver – the gig scored a five-star review from NME‘s Emma Madden, who wrote: “Chris didn’t merely take his audience by the scruff of the neck tonight: he made his blood our blood, his yearning our yearning and his anguish our anguish as his search for transcendence flowed through us. If only we could always remain in the fantastic and surreal anti-logic of Redcar’s world.”
