“I’m feeling good, I’m strong, I’m feeling excited, obviously a little nervous, but most of all, I’m grateful to all of you,” Dion added. “I can’t wait to see you all again.”

Pre-sale tickets for Dion’s shows at the Paris La Défense Arena hit the market on April 7.

The “All By Myself” singer announced she was diagnosed with stiff person syndrome in 2022 when she had to cancel several concerts.

“I’ve been dealing with problems with my health for a long time, and it’s been really difficult for me to face these challenges and to talk about everything that I’ve been going through,” she shared in an emotional video.

According to John Hopkins Medicine, the condition “is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that most commonly causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms that come and go and can worsen over time.”

Dion returned to the stage two years later when she performed “Hymne A L’Amour” by Édith Piaf at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

That November, the music icon also performed her 1993 track “The Power of Love” and 2002 song “I’m Alive” at the 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab fashion show in Saudi Arabia.

She also appeared upbeat while wishing fans a Happy Thanksgiving in a message about gratitude in November 2025.
