Céline Dion’s heart will go on in Paris — and so will her shows.
The Quebec pop icon says she’s adding six additional dates to her comeback run in the French capital.
Last week, Dion announced her return to the stage with a 10-show run in Paris this September, following a prolonged break after being diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome, an incurable autoimmune disorder.
In an emotional Instagram video, the 58-year-old singer said she’s been feeling well as she manages her health and is ready to return to performing.
In addition to her 10 original dates, Dion shared in an Instagram story that she’s adding more shows at Paris La Défense Arena throughout late September and October.
In her video message, Dion said she has missed her fans, crediting them with helping her get through the past few years.
“Every day that’s gone by I’ve felt your prayers and support and kindness and love,” she said. “Even in my most difficult times, you were there for me. You’ve helped me in ways that I can’t even describe and I’m truly so fortunate to have your support. I’ve missed you so much.”
She added in the clip — which she jokingly described as a “surprise” birthday message to herself — that she’s “so ready to do this.”
Dion was diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome in 2022, a progressive illness that can cause muscle rigidity and severe spasms, and can also affect the vocal cords. It forced her to postpone and later cancel the remaining dates of her Courage World Tour for 2023 and 2024, which had already been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
