Six years after she last headlined a full concert, Celine Dion stepped back onto a stage Saturday night in Nanterre, just outside Paris, and closed the night the way generations of fans hoped she still could: an a cappella run through “All by Myself.”
The moment came late in a career-spanning show opening Dion’s return engagement at an arena just outside Paris, her first full concert since revealing in December 2022 that she’d been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological condition that had made touring, and at times even walking, difficult. Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Aya Nakamura, and astronaut Thomas Pesquet were among the roughly 30,000 people in the crowd. Earlier in the night, overcome during “On Ne Change Pas,” Dion told the audience in French, “I promised myself I wouldn’t cry. I don’t keep my promises.”
Clips of the “All by Myself” moment spread fast online afterward, with fans in the comments landing on two reactions that amounted to the same thing: her voice has changed, and it barely mattered. Several noted she was singing in a noticeably lower key than her 1996 recording, something many chalked up to her ongoing health battle. Others focused purely on the moment itself, calling it one of the most emotional comebacks they’d ever watched.
@celine_world_fanThat was very impresive! I didn’t think she would be able to sing this song again in 2026. The show was incredible. 10/10. Céline you will always be the most impresive woman on this planet! #celinedion #paris #comeback #allbymyself #highnote
♬ original sound – foreverCelineFanEric Carmen wrote and recorded “All by Myself” in 1975, built around a melody borrowed from the second movement of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, a detail that later required Carmen to add the Rachmaninoff estate to the songwriting credits. Carmen’s original peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1976.
Dion’s version arrived two decades later, produced by David Foster for her 1996 album Falling Into You. It became one of the defining vocal showcases of her career, topping Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart for three weeks in 1997 and cracking the Hot 100’s top five.
