In fact, Celine Dion may never perform again, so seeing the superstar at the height of her powers with her Taking Chances tour may be the closest some fans will ever get to attending one of her concerts again.
After releasing her eponymous studio album in 2007, Celine embarked on the Taking Chances world tour from 2008 to 2009, which became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time.
The film was shot in two parts and released to audiences worldwide in 2010.
A little over a decade later, a neurological disorder has left Celine barely able to speak, let alone sing, and if you want to see concert footage, we know how.
Celine Dion’s last tour and why it was cancelled
Just days before the world officially shut down due to COVID-19, Celine Dion was performing to a sold-out crowd in Newark, New Jersey.
The March 8 performance was the final show of her “Courage” tour, which was scheduled to travel the world until 2022. Fans initially assumed that the pandemic had prevented her from attending and that the tour had been canceled. Then, the harsh truth was revealed.
Celine shockingly announced to the world in late 2022 that she’d been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome, a neurological disorder that affects the muscles. Little was heard from her in the year that followed, choosing to step back from the spotlight to find her way through her diagnosis.
In the spring of 2024, she emerged again, ready to tell her story not just in an interview, but in an in-depth documentary. Me: Celine Dion.
When asked if she’d recovered enough to sing and tour again, Celine said that may never happen because the very act of singing makes her feel like someone is “strangled.”

The tour has seen her travel to 93 cities across 25 countries on five continents, selling out every date, breaking attendance records and covering the breadth of her career, from “The Power of Love” to “My Heart Will Go On.”
