Céline Dion has been rehearsing in secret for her “final farewell” stage comeback in Paris, keeping details under wraps as her team plans ways to support her.
On Monday, the My Heart Will Go On singer took to Instagram to reveal she will play a 10-night residency at the 40,000-capacity Paris La Défense Arena in September and October.
It’s reported that Dion’s PR team only learned of the 10-show residency when Paris streets were plastered with posters featuring her lyrics.
The reports revealed that to safeguard her health, Dion will perform exclusively on Wednesdays and Saturdays, giving her ample time to recover.
As per The Sun, Dion has to have physiotherapy between the concerts, while insurers want full medical checks before and during her 10-night residency.
A source told the publication, “The whole world is willing Celine on but it’s fair to say everyone will be holding their breath until the moment she takes to the stage in September.”
The insider added, “Celine is a trooper. She has told many of those around her over recent years that the fans inspire her and they are everything to her.”
“That sentiment forms Celine’s determination to fight back against doctors who have worried about her ever performing live again. It has been a long road from singing for a few minutes with members of her inner circle at her home to having full rehearsals,” a source stated.
The insider added plans are still being discussed about the I'm Alive singer’s ability to be on stage in a “safe manner.”
Notably, Céline Dion first revealed in 2022 that she was suffering from SPS and cancelled her remaining tour dates at the time.
