The Canadian singer is expected to return to the stage for a series of shows in Paris, 4 years after being diagnosed with a rare neurological condition.

Celine Dion is expected to return to the stage in September for a series of shows in Paris, France, 4 years after being diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome.

According to the French press, the 57-year-old singer is preparing her first concert residency since revealing she suffers from the rare neurological condition, which causes stiffness and affects her mobility and vocal cords.

Recently, posters featuring excerpts from some of her most famous songs, such as “My Heart Will Go On” and “The Power of Love”, were spread throughout the streets of the French capital, generating great excitement among fans of the Canadian singer.

According to the French newspaper La Presse, Dion will perform two shows per week in September and October at the Arena La Défense, a venue with a capacity of 40,000 people.

Dion’s battle with the autoimmune disease was portrayed in the 2024 documentary “I Am: Celine Dion”, in an open and impactful way.

At the time, the artist revealed how much she missed performing, especially because she could not interact with her audience: “It has been a struggle. I miss it so much, the people. I miss them so much. If I can’t run, I will walk. If I can’t walk, I will crawl… I won’t stop,” she said.

Dion’s last live performance was during the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, when she performed “L’Hymne à l’Amour”; since then, the singer has stayed out of the spotlight.
