According to sources, Celine Dion still faces significant challenges, including episodes where her vocal cords freeze due to her condition.

However, the singer showed that her spirit remains unbreakable following her powerful appearance at the Paris Summer Olympics opening ceremony and a recent promotional video she filmed for the National Football League.

Determined to get back on stage, the 'Power of the Dream' singer plans to perform live again as soon as her health permits.

For Dion, a return to Las Vegas represents her ultimate comeback.

“Nowadays, it seems like everybody from U2 to Elton John is doing Vegas residencies. But Celine is the OG — she paved the way,” an insider told inTouch Weekly.

“And she says she wants to return to show them how it’s done!” the source added. 

From 2011 to 2019, Dion performed over 400 shows at Caesars Palace, building a legacy in the city that transformed her career.

Now, with her management team working to secure a new residency slot for 2025, she’s excited to make her mark on the Vegas stage again.

Celine Dion fights through challenges of stiff person syndrome

Celine Dion's struggle with stiff person syndrome has been life-altering as the rare disorder has robbed her of much of her physical strength, limiting her movement and even her voice at times.

“There were dark days when she thought concerts would be impossible,” revealed a close source.

However, with a combination of medication and physical therapy, Dion has reached a point where she believes performing again is within her reach.

"But with medications and physical therapy, she’s at a place where she believes she can pull it off!” continued the source.

In December 2022, Dion opened up about her neurological disorder in a video posted on Instagram.

"I've had health problems for a long time and it's not easy for me to cope with them," she said of the disorder diagnosed in August 2022.

Dion’s determination to return to the Las Vegas stage is about more than nostalgia as it is a chance to show her fans and the world that she remains a powerhouse performer.

“She says she wants to return to show them how it’s done,” said the insider, reflecting on the singer’s desire to continue inspiring others.
