Celine Dion Posters Appear in Paris Amid Rumors of Comeback Concerts

Dion last performed a proper headlining concert in 2020 on the Courage tour. The run was ultimately cut short due to the pandemic. In the years that followed, taking the stage became an increasingly strenuous act for the artist as her struggles with stiff-person syndrome surfaced new complications. “Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to,” Dion said in 2022.

As there is no cure for the rare neurological disease, Dion has been learning to live with it and continues to maintain her health through constant exercise. “Five days a week, I undergo athletic, physical, and vocal therapy,” she said in 2024. “I work on my toes, my knees, my calves, my fingers, my singing, my voice … I have to learn to live with it now and stop questioning myself.”

Dion has returned to the stage on two rare occasions in recent years. In 2024, she performed “Hymne à L’amour” in a moving appearance at the Paris Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. Later that year, she performed “The Power of Love” and “I’m Alive” at the 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab fashion show in Saudi Arabia.
