Later the same year, she made a brief public appearance to sing at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony when she sang Hymne à L’amour, her first performance since 2020.
The singer repeatedly expressed her desire to return to the stage. “My voice will be rebuilt,” she told the BBC in June 2024. “I mean, it started a while ago already. My voice is being rebuilt as we speak, right now.”
Dion added in her Instagram post on Monday: “You’ve helped me in ways that I can’t even describe, and I’m truly so fortunate to have your support. I’ve missed you so much.
“And that brings me back to my birthday, actually. So this year, I’m getting the best gift of my life.
“I’m getting the chance to see you, to perform for you once again in Paris, beginning in September this year.
“I’m so happy. I’m so ready to do this. I’m feeling good. I’m strong, I’m feeling excited, obviously, of course, a little nervous.
