Celine Dion makes a comeback to Paris residency
The singer kicked off her 16-night Paris residence at the Plenitude Arena on Saturday, ie, September 12, delivering an emotional speech. As per the Variety report, she said, "It's amazing we are all together. I made a promise. I made a promise to come back and be back on stage. So, here I am singing for you and singing for me, singing live. Thank you very much for your support and your patience, and if I may say so, I am everything I am because you loved me."
During the show, Dion addressed her SPS diagnosis, which she had previously explained had caused spasms and impacted her vocal chords. “By living with it day in and day out, I've come to terms with it. And I've decided to make it my reason for living,” Celine Dion said.

Celine Dion's diagnosis
Céline Dion was diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome (SPS), a rare and progressive neurological and autoimmune disorder, in December 2022. A rare condition that affects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), causing the body to attack healthy nerve cells.
There is no known cure, but symptoms can be managed with treatments like intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), medications, and extensive physical and vocal therapy. The diagnosis forced Dion to cancel her concert tours and step away from regular performances.
