Celine Dion's first Paris show marks her stage comeback in 6 years. Over the past years, she's been recovering from a rare neurological condition called stiff person syndrome, one that was explored in the documentary "I Am: Celine Dion." The disease attacks muscles and sets off spasms capable of breaking bones, and can be triggered by loud noises, stress, and more. Dion's throat muscles were targeted, forcing her to relearn how to sing.
In an interview from 2024 with NBC, Dion said that singing now felt like being strangled. She had to cancel her shows to heal and learn how to manage her disease.

“I had promised myself not to cry,” Dion told the audience. “But I’m so happy to see you all. I missed you. I’m going to sing, like you, without crying.”
“Finally, it’s amazing we are all together,” she continued. “I made a promise to come back and to be back onstage. So here I am, singing for you, singing for me, singing life.”
