WHAT'S HOT
2024 Olympics Closing Ceremony: Billie Eilish Brings ‘Birds of a Feather,’ Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Deliver ‘The Next Episode’ & More
Published
1 year agoon
Billie Eilish performed “Birds of a Feather,” Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre teamed up for “The Last Episode,” and the Red Hot Chili Peppers played “Can’t Stop” in highlights from the 2024 Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony Sunday night (Aug. 11) in Los Angeles, where the next Olympics will be held four years from now.
As the Olympic flame was extinguished during the closing events in Paris on Sunday, the featured musical performances from L.A. looked ahead to the games in California. With all three acts representing the state — Eilish is from Highland Park, Snoop and Dre are a cornerstone of West Coast rap, and the Chili Peppers formed in L.A. — the star-studded lineup on a beachside stage was a nod to the city hosting the 2028 Summer Olympics.
And in a nod to the Olympics in Hollywood, Tom Cruise pulled a stunt at the Paris festivities in which he descended from the top of the Stade de France to the “Mission Impossible” theme song.

The closing ceremony in Paris featured a spectacular vocal performance from H.E.R., who performed the United States’ national anthem as part of the handover of the Olympics to L.A. for 2028.
French rockers Phoenix kept the party going with a live set in Paris, taking the stage with singles including 2009’s “Lisztomania” and “1901,” while French singer Yseult sang “My Way.”
The Red Hot Chili Peppers got the California vibes going with “Can’t Stop,” from the group’s 2002 album By the Way.
Also Stateside, Eilish sang a breezy “Birds of a Feather,” a single off of Hit Me Hard and Soft, accompanied by Finneas.
Snoop Dogg’s set had classic hits from the early 2000s like “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and “The Next Episode,” with special guest Dr. Dre.

Phoenix pour la #CeremonieDecloture , le groupe qu’on aime pour l’ambiance. Les rageux vont voir juste la femme voilée derrière.

Yseult did justice to this Frank Sinatra’s my way. The #Olympics closing ceremony was beautiful.
