Canadian singer Celine Dion has announced her return to the stage four years after being diagnosed with a terminal illness that has affected her voice and ability to walk, the BBC reports.
The star will perform a series of 10 concerts at the 40,000-capacity La Défense Arena in Paris in September and October.
The singer announced her return on her 58th birthday, calling it “the best gift of my life.”
On Monday night, the Eiffel Tower lit up with the words “Paris, je suis prête” (“Paris, I’m ready”) and fans heard a selection of her songs, including “I’m Alive,” “Encore Un Soir” and “My Heart Will Go On.”
