Céline Dion breaks down in tears during comeback show despite promising herself she wouldn't

It was the end of 2022 when Céline Dion was diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome, or SPS.

But now, after painfully recovering from the rare neurological disorder, she has returned to the stage.

As she headlined her first concert in six years, Dion was in tears.

Though she admitted on stage, “I had promised myself not to cry."

“I don’t keep my promises. But I’m so happy to see you all. I missed you. I’m going to sing like you without crying.”

Some 30,000 fans are said to attend Dion's comeback show at the Plénitude Arena outside Paris.
