Céline Dion Confirms Return To Live Performing With Paris Residency

Céline Dion has confirmed that she’ll be taking part in a live residency in Paris later this year.

Last week, it was heavily rumoured that the five-time Grammy winner would return to live performing, when posters emblazoned with some of her song lyrics began popping up in the streets of the French capital.

The My Heart Will Go On singer has notably been taking some time out of the spotlight in the last few years, having been diagnosed with the neurological disorder stiff-person syndrome, which has dramatically affected her ability to sing.

However, after a show-stopping performance at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony two years ago, Céline has now announced her first live shows in six years will be taking place in the autumn at Paris’ La Défense Arena.

In a video message to fans shared on Monday – which just happened to be her 58th birthday – an excited Céline beamed: “Over the last few years, every day that’s gone by, I’ve felt your prayers and support, your kindness and love. You’ve helped me in ways that I can’t even describe, and I’m truly fortunate to have your support.

“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!”
