(Celine Dion\/Instagram)<\/p>\n<p>In her earlier video message, Dion said she has missed her fans, crediting them with helping her get through the past few years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery day that\u2019s gone by I\u2019ve felt your prayers and support and kindness and love,\u201d she said. \u201cEven in my most difficult times, you were there for me. You\u2019ve helped me in ways that I can\u2019t even describe and I  \u2019m truly so fortunate to have your support. I\u2019ve missed you so much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added in the clip \u2014 which she jokingly described as a \u201csurprise\u201d birthday message to herself \u2014 that she\u2019s \u201cso ready to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The week leading up to the singer&#8217;s show announcement, posters with titles of some of Dion&#8217;s most famous songs appeared around Paris, which sparked original speculation of the pop star&#8217;s comeback. White posters with black cursive text read out titles including My Heart Will Go On, Power of Love, Encore un soir and Pour que tu m\u2019aimes encore.<\/p>\n<p>Dion was diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome in 2022, a progressive illness that can cause muscle rigidity and severe spasms, and can also affect the vocal cords. It forced her to postpone and later cancel the remaining dates of her Courage world tour for 2023 and 2024, which had already been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  <\/p>\n<p>In summer 2024, Dion released I Am: Celine Dion a documentary that let fans into the singer&#8217;s personal struggles with the illness, giving a glimpse into her day-to-day life as she slowly worked her way back to performing onstage. <\/p>\n<p>One month later, Dion made her first performance comeback in Paris at the 2024 Olympics, giving a moving performance of Hymne \u00e0 l&#8217;amour from the Eiffel Tower in a glittering gown. This return to Paris in fall 2026 will be her first performance since that appearance, and her first run of shows since before the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH | C\u00e9line Dion&#8217;s 2024 comeback performance in Paris:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 3 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":592013,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,341],"class_list":["post-592012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=592012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/592012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/592013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=592012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=592012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=592012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
