Celine Dion returns to the stage after battling illness
The singer has announced ten concerts
Celine Dion is returning to the stage four years after being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome – a rare condition that affects her voice and ability to sing.
The Canadian singer announced her comeback on March 30, her birthday, as she turned 58. She plans to perform ten concerts in Paris, scheduled for September and October 2026. Ticket presales will begin on April 7.
«This year, I will receive the greatest gift of my life – the opportunity to come to you and sing for you again in Paris this autumn», Celine Dion said during an appearance on the French TV channel France 2.

The singer noted that she feels significantly better, has her condition under control, and is gradually returning to work – including vocal performances and light stage movement.
The announcement of her return was accompanied by a light show at the Eiffel Tower, where the message «Paris, je suis prête» («Paris, I am ready») appeared. Her well-known hits, including I’m Alive, Encore un soir, and My Heart Will Go On, were played at the same time.
It is worth recalling that in 2022, Celine Dion first postponed and later fully canceled her Courage World Tour due to health issues. She later revealed that she had been diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder – stiff-person syndrome, which causes muscle spasms.
