\n\tRumors have hit fever pitch in France<\/a> that C\u00e9line Dion<\/a> will this evening confirm a series of fall performances in Paris, in her first major concert program since being forced to abandon her Courage World Tour in 2020 due to the pandemic followed by health struggles.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u2018Power of Love\u2019 singer, who has been battling her way back to good health after being diagnosed with the rare neurological condition Stiff\u00a0Person Syndrome (SPS) in 2022, last gave a big solo concert in New York in the spring of 2020.<\/p>\n

\n\tFans have been abuzz over the possibility of the star\u2019s return to the concert scene ever since mysterious posters bearing titles of her best-known songs appeared on the streets of Pari<\/a>s on March 23. Posts on the star\u2019s social media accounts celebrating her ties with the French capital have added fuel to the rumors.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeveral French media outlets reported on Monday that the concerts will be officially confirmed in a spectacular event involving a light show on the Eiffel Tower this evening, with the announcement also timed to coincide with Dion\u2019s 58th birthday.<\/p>\n

\n\tNews channel BFMTV showed footage of a test run at the Eiffel Tower overnight in which the Paris landmark was lit up and a message appeared declaring, \u201cC\u00e9line Dion, Paris, Je Suis Pr\u00eate\u201d (C\u00e9line Dion, Paris, I\u2019m Ready). <\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, state broadcaster France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions has also teased that it will be making a Dion-related announcement this evening at 9.15pm local time.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to a report in Canadian newspaper La Presse last week, Dion will perform two concerts a week at the 40,000-capacity Paris La D\u00e9fense Arena in September and October.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis is a very different format from her Courage World Tour, which originally comprised 52 dates across North America and Europe until it was put on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with attempts to resume the tour in 2023 and 2024\u00a0abandoned due to the star\u2019s ill health<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first sign that Dion was on the mend was her powerful, one-off\u00a0live performance at the opening ceremony<\/a>\u00a0of the Paris Olympics in July 2024, in which she belted out Edith Piaf\u2019s classic song \u2018Hymn To Love\u2019 against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower. She also then performed at an Elie Saab fashion show in the Saudi capital of Riyadh in November 2024. <\/p>\n

\n\tFans have been hoping ever since that Dion will return to the live concert scene.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere was speculation last year that\u00a0Dion would perform at the 2025 European Song Contest<\/a>\u00a0in Switzerland, but it not come to pass, with the star\u2019s reps shutting down the reports, saying Dion had never been due to \u201cattend, perform or present\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n\tIf and when the Paris dates are confirmed, the shows will be among the hottest concerts tickets on the planet. When the 200,000 tickets for Courage World Tour 2020 Paris dates were released in the fall of 2019, they sold out in 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

\n\tDeadline has contacted Dion\u2019s reps for comment on the latest rumors that an announcement is imminent. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rumors have hit fever pitch in France that C\u00e9line Dion will this evening confirm a series of fall…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":554202,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[181087,88,594,216],"class_list":{"0":"post-554201","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-cu00e9line-dion","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-france","11":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=554201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/554201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/554202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=554201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=554201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=554201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
