Celine Dion, who was previously sidelined from performing due to a rare neurological disorder, has announced a series of concerts that will bring her back to the stage.
Making good on rampant speculation, Dion is set to perform 10 concerts in Paris, according to an announcement shared Monday on social media in honor of her birthday. The shows will take place in September and October.
“This year, I’m getting the best birthday gift of my life,” she said in a video posted to her verified Instagram account.
The overjoyed singer who turned 58 on Monday added that she is “feeling good” and “strong,” even doing a little dancing.
“I’m feeling excited, obviously a little nervous, but most of all, I’m grateful to all of you,” she said. “I love you all and I’ll see you soon!”
Rumors began to swirl last week that Dion would once again be performing after posters with her various song titles began popping up around the French capital. Canadian outlet La Presse reported that the superstar singer would be helming a residency at Paris La Défense Arena, a 40,000-seat venue.
Soon after, Dion stirred further excitement by posting a series of photos showing her in Paris over the years on her verified Instagram.
