Celine Dion slipped on stage during the 11th show of her 26‑date Paris residency at Plenitude Arena on Oct. 8, 2026, but rose quickly, gave the audience a thumbs‑up and continued singing.
What happened
During a performance of the French‑language song “Dans un autre monde,” Dion appeared to catch her heel on her pants, lost balance and fell backward. The fall was captured on video that spread on social media.
What was said
Billboard reported that Dion “flashed the audience a thumbs‑up” after getting back on her feet and resumed the song without interruption.
How it came about
The residency, which began on Sept. 12, 2026, marks Dion’s return after a six‑year hiatus caused by stiff‑person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder she disclosed in 2022. The current run is scheduled to continue through Oct. 17, 2026, with additional dates planned for May 2027.
