Celine Dion will be back on stage this fall.
On a video posted to X on Monday marking the legendary Canadian superstar’s birthday, Dion announced she will perform 10 shows starting in September in Paris.
“I wanted to let you know I’m doing great. I’m managing my health, I’m feeling good, I’m singing again,” she said.
“Over the past few years i have felt your prayers and support … I’ve missed you so much.”
She said this year she is getting the best gift of her life.

“I am getting the chance to perform for you once again in Paris. I’m so happy, I’m so ready to do this,” she added.
Posters had been put up around the French capital in recent weeks teasing a series of concerts, reading “Power of Love” in English and “Pour Que Tu M’aimes Encore” in French. She also posted a series of photos of herself in Paris over the course of her life on her Instagram account.
The Quebec songstress’ last major live performance was at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony in July 2024, where she sang from the Eiffel Tower.
It was her return to the stage for the first time in almost four years after she announced to the world that she was diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome in 2022, a progressive illness that can cause muscle rigidity and severe spasms as well as affecting a person’s vocal cords. She then cancelled her world tour.

Dressed in a stunning beaded, floor-length gown complete with fringe details and a long cape, Dion took to the first stage of the Eiffel Tower to perform a Parisian staple — Édith Piaf’s L’Hymne à l’amour.
Dion appeared, at times, overcome with emotion as the crowd cheered below.
She has not done any major performances since.
“I’m strong. I’m excited, of course a little nervous, but most of all I am grateful to all of you. I cant wait to see you again,” she said in the video.
The shows will begin Sept. 12 and fans have been encouraged to register on her official website to have the opportunity at pre-sale tickets.
