Celine Dion set for Las Vegas comeback
CELINE Dion is set to make a sensational live music comeback in Las Vegas, sources have exclusively told The U.S. Sun.
The French Canadian superstar, 56, is said to be secretly practicing for a limited run of shows which will see her return this fall after four years away from the stage.
It is claimed she is planning to perform her greatest hits on stage for 70 minutes per show despite battling the debilitating Stiff Person Syndrome neurological disease.
The U.S. Sun is told that Celine is likely to perform the shows at the Resorts World Theatre at around the time of the Las Vegas Formula One grand prix.
However, there are also plans in place to push the run to a later date next year if her health issues get in the way, insiders say.
Concert promoter AEG would stage the events, with a “short run at first” to see if she can cope with the challenges of performing live.
Sources say that the mom-of-three, who lives in Sin City, has been rehearsing with musicians and aided by voice therapists for the last eight months.
The last time she performed live was in Newark, New Jersey during her Courage world tour on March 8, 2020.
She was forced to cancel the tour after the Covid pandemic hit and has not been able to perform since due to her health problems.
The bombshell claims regarding her return comes after fans were left shocked last month by the portrayal of the singer’s health battle in Prime Video documentary I Am: Celine Dion.
“Celine is coming back to perform,” a well-placed Las Vegas live entertainment source said.
“It is hush hush at the moment, but an announcement is imminent.
“Celine has signed off on singing again to audiences in November.
“She has worked incredibly hard to get back to a place where she can sing well and for some period of time.
“She believes that she is ready to perform for over an hour.
“Her desire to return and entertain has been a huge driving force in her health battles."
