“I
am ready and I’m a bit uptight of course because it’s been a
long time,” she told French broadcaster BFMTV, wearing a beige
trench coat, high heels and dark shades.
“I have always felt supported from the first day and because
it’s a story that continues. It’s true that this is my second
home,” the Quebec-born singer said.
Asked which song she'd sing first, Dion replied: “I can't say,
it's a big secret!”
The Paris concerts, to be followed by 10 more next May, mark a
major milestone for 58-year-old Dion after years away from
touring due to the rare neurological disorder she disclosed in
2022.
With nearly 260 million albums sold worldwide, Dion remains one
of the bestselling and most decorated artists in pop music
history, known for hits including “My Heart Will Go On” and
“Because You Loved Me.”
The concert series, titled “Celine Dion Paris 2026-2027,” will
feature her catalog of hits in English and French.
Dion has largely stepped back from performing since canceling
her Courage World Tour as her condition progressed. She wowed
with a brief but widely watched return at the opening ceremony
of the Paris Olympics in 2024, singing “Hymne à l’amour” (Hymn
to love) atop the Eiffel Tower in the rain.
The Plenitude Arena has a capacity of 40,000 spectators and was
one of the venues used for the Paris Games.
