Summary
Celine Dion said she is returning to regular live performance with a five-week Paris residency starting in mid-September and a three-week Las Vegas run already selling for May 2027.
Only one performance in six years — at the Paris Olympics — had preceded the comeback, after stiff-person syndrome forced her to suspend a tour in 2023 and left her at times barely able to walk.
A 2022 diagnosis followed 17 years of symptoms, and Dion said intensive rehabilitation — including new medication, immunotherapy, vocal therapy, 90-minute Pilates three times a week and ballet classes — helped restore her ability to perform.
The rare autoimmune neurological disorder affects an estimated one or two people per million, and Dion's foundation donated $2 million in 2024 to research autoimmune neurological disorders.
The return also revives one of pop's defining residency acts: Dion's 2003-2007 'A New Day...' remains the highest-grossing Las Vegas residency on record.
