  "summary": "Celine Dion is set to make her long-awaited return to the stage in Paris on Saturday evening. She has been battling a rare neurological disorder, Stiff Person Syndrome, which forced her to cancel shows and left her struggling to sing. This will be her first full concert in six years.\n\nAround 30,000 fans are expected to attend the sold-out opening night at the Plenitude Arena outside Paris, part of her 26-date run in the French capital. Some fans arrived early to soak up the atmosphere, with a giant free karaoke singalong taking place on the eve of her first performance, according to France 24.\n\nFans, including Chloe and Katy Rydquist who travelled from London, are excited and emotional about Dion's comeback. They paid around £1,500 for their tickets, saying it was worth the price. According to Free Malaysia Today and New Straits Times, Katy Rydquist said, \"It's going to be very emotional for her and for everyone.\"",
