“Put on good shoes!”

— Céline Dion

The 58-year-old artist has faced severe health challenges, including a diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome in 2022 after years of living with the incurable neurological condition. This followed the 2016 death of her manager and husband, René Angélil, and the cancellation of her previous tours.

Despite her struggles, Dion surprised the world by performing 'L’Hymne à l’amour' from the Eiffel Tower during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. Since arriving in France in late August, she has greeted fans daily outside her Parisian palace before her rehearsals.
