Olympic organisers said Monday that they were shocked by the "racist attacks" against France's biggest music star Aya Nakamura over rumours she might perform an Edith Piaf song during the opening ceremony for the Games.
It began with local media reports that the French-Malian singer had discussed the possibility of performing a song by 20th-century icon Piaf when she met President Emmanuel Macron last month, though neither party has confirmed the rumour.
