Céline Dion scheduled for long-awaited stage return in Paris
The Paris performance would mark Dion’s return to live performance after years dealing with a rare neurological disorder.
Céline Dion was scheduled to return to the stage in Paris on Saturday, marking a long-awaited comeback after years of battling a rare neurological disorder.
The available material does not confirm whether the performance ultimately took place. It also does not identify the disorder or provide details about the venue, audience or programme.
France 24 International reported that Paris was chosen for the planned return, with fans counting down to showtime.
Nick Rees-Roberts, professor of media, culture and communication at Sorbonne Nouvelle University, said the city’s significance to Dion extended beyond the “Olympics effect”.
Paris was described as an important launch pad for Dion’s career beyond Quebec during the 1980s and early 1990s, and as a second home for the singer.
