Canadian singer Celine Dion returns to the stage this Saturday in Paris for her first full concert in six years, marking the start of a sold-out residency following a long hiatus. The music icon, who has been battling a rare neurological disorder, will perform a series of shows in France.
Dion revealed in 2022 that she was suffering from stiff person’s syndrome, a condition causing muscle spasms and stiffness that forced her away from the limelight. She is scheduled to perform 26 concerts over the next eight months at an arena in the Paris suburb of Nanterre. Fans have gathered outside her hotel in anticipation of the shows, which were first announced on her birthday in March.
