How will Celine Dion manage her shows despite the illness?
On Wednesday, April 15, 2026, Celine Dion’s neurologist, Dr. Amanda Piquet, shared insights about the singer’s illness. Speaking on France Inter, the neurologist explained that the singer had prepared extensively for her return to the stage: “She has worked a lot to fight this illness. She is eager to do her concerts, she is excited,” she revealed.
While considering the singer “ready,” Dr. Piquet assured that she would be well supported backstage: “There will be a medical team with her, of course. There are still many details to sort out.” Even though she is feeling better, Celine Dion may still experience “painful cramps in the chest.” Singing can particularly trigger these cramps: “And when you sing, you have to breathe deeply, work all these muscles between the ribs, especially the diaphragm.”
