Celine Dion suffers a frightening fall on stage during her Paris residency
The show will continue.
Celine Dion suffered a frightening fall during her residency at the Plénitude Arena in Paris on Wednesday.
According to a video shared on Instagram by Gary Francq, the “Power of Love” singer was performing her 1998 song “In Another World.”
At one point, Dion hopped on one foot several times before slipping and falling to the ground.
However, the five-time Grammy winner got back to her feet and gave the crowd a thumbs up as she continued to sing.
Francq told Storyful that he was “very surprised and worried when (he) saw her fall” but was “impressed to see her get up and continue dancing as if nothing had happened.”
Despite the incident, Francq said it was “an incredible evening.”
Dion, 58, made an emotional return to the stage last month when she kicked off her Paris residency amid her ongoing battle with stiff person syndrome.
“I promised not to cry. Tonight, I want to sing for you, for me, for life,” she declared in front of a packed room.
“Finally. It’s amazing that we’re all together. I made a promise. I made a promise to come back and get back on stage,” the “My Heart Will Go On” singer added.
Dion then thanked her fans for their “support” and “patience” before giving a heartfelt nod to her 1996 hit “Because You Loved Me.”
In March, the pop star announced she would return for 10 “unforgettable shows” in Paris.
Dion shared her diagnosis of stiff person syndrome in 2022 when she was forced to cancel several concerts.
The disease “is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that most commonly causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms that come and go and may worsen over time,” according to John Hopkins Medicine.
