Céline Dion is back.
The international pop superstar used a birthday message Monday to confirm that she’d be taking the stage once again later this year, with a slate of concerts in France at the Paris La Défense Arena starting in September.
“I wanted to let you know that I’m doing great, managing my health,” Dion said in a video message to her fans. “I’m feeling good, I’m singing again, even doing a little bit of dancing, obviously I love it so much. But I have to tell you something very important. Over the last few years, every day that’s gone by, I’ve felt your prayers and support, your kindness and love. This year, I’m getting the best birthday gift of my life. I’m getting the chance to see you, to perform for you once again in Paris, beginning in September. I’m feeling good, I’m strong, I’m feeling excited, obviously a little nervous, but most of all, I’m grateful to all of you. I love you all and I’ll see you soon.”
Dion has been prominently battling health issues over past several years, revealing in 2022 she’d been diagnosed with the rare neurological disorder stiff person syndrome. Dion went deep about her health issues in the 2024 documentary I Am: Celine Dion. Her last full-length concert was back in 2020, and she made a return at the opening ceremony for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
Dion will be performing across 10 nights in Paris for her Paris concerts, starting on September 12 and concluding on October 14. Pre-sales for the concerts will begin on Tuesday April 7, and a general on-sale will take place April 10.
The concerts are being produced by AEG Presents, Concerts West and Inter Concerts.
