Will Celine Dion be able to return to the stage?

According to her sister, the singer’s future is uncertain. “It’s true that in both our dreams and hers, the goal is to return to the stage. In what capacity? I don’t know,” she said.

Celine Dion canceled her “Courage” World Tour in May after informing her fans about her painful muscle spasms. “I’m so sorry to disappoint all of you once again,” she wrote on Instagram. “I’m working really hard to build back my strength, but touring can be very difficult even when you’re 100%. It’s not fair to you to keep postponing the shows, and even though it breaks my heart, it’s best that we cancel everything now until I’m really ready to be back on stage again.”
