  "summary": "Céline Dion is set to return to the stage in Paris on Saturday evening at the Plenitude Arena, marking a major milestone in her comeback after years battling a rare neurological disorder, Stiff Person Syndrome. The 58-year-old Canadian singer's 26-date run in the French capital is sold out, with around 30,000 fans expected to attend the opening night.\n\nFans have been counting down the hours until showtime, with some making the pilgrimage a day early to soak up the atmosphere ahead of her return. According to CBC News and Free Malaysia Today, Chloe Rydquist, who travelled from London with her wife, Katy, described Céline Dion as \"a legend, she's iconic\". The couple paid around £1,500 for their tickets, saying seeing Dion back onstage was worth the price.\n\nOver her four-decade career, Céline Dion has sold around 260 million albums, according to New Straits Times. Her return to the stage is seen as an emotional milestone, not just for her but for her fans, who were uncertain if she would ever perform again.",
