Céline Dion has announced her return to the stage, four years after she was diagnosed with an incurable condition that affected her singing voice and her ability to walk.
The star, known for power ballads like My Heart Will Go On and Because You Loved Me, will play a 10-night residency at the 40,000-capacity Paris La Défense Arena in September and October.
The announcement came on the day of her 58th birthday. In a message on her Instagram page, Dion called her comeback “the best gift of my life”.
“I’m so ready to do this,” she told fans. “I’m feeling good, I’m strong, I’m feeling excited, obviously, [and] of course, a little nervous.”
Addressing her medical condition, Dion said: “I’m doing great, managing my health, feeling good. I’m singing again, even doing a little bit of dancing.
“But I have to tell you something very important: Over these last few years, every day that’s gone by, I felt your prayers and support, your kindness and love.
She continued: “I am grateful to all of you. I can’t wait to see you again.”
