Celine Dion releases new single amid ongoing stiff-person syndrome battle


Celine Dion is officially back, dropping a new single Friday.

Dion last released new music in 2023, when she contributed several tracks to the “Love Again” movie soundtrack, including the title track, “Love Again,” which was also included on Dion’s “I Am: Celine Dion” documentary soundtrack.

Dion’s most recent studio album was 2019’s “Courage,” her 27th studio album overall.

On Friday, Dion returned with the three-minute long “Dansons,” French for “Let’s dance.”

A soft ballad, “Dansons” features lyrics such as “Dansons au-dessus des abîmes, aux arêtes des cimes / Tournons puisque le monde ne tourne plus rond,” which translates to “Let us dance above the abysses, along the sharp ridges of the peaks / Let us spin, since the world no longer spins right.”

The release of “Dansons” comes more than two weeks after Dion announced 16 comeback concerts in Paris this fall, amid her ongoing battle with stiff-person syndrome.

“This year, I’m getting the best birthday gift of my life…I’m getting the chance to see you, to perform for you once again in Paris, beginning in September!” Dion announced in a press release at the time. “I’m feeling good, I’m strong, I’m feeling excited, obviously a little nervous, but most of all, I’m grateful to all of YOU! I love you all and I’ll see you soon!”

Dion announced in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare, chronic and progressive neurological disease.

Dr. Leah Croll, a neurologist, previously explained to ABC News that stiff-person syndrome can cause stiffness and rigidity in different muscles, leading to unsteadiness, slower movements and difficulties walking — symptoms Dion said she has experienced alongside difficulties singing.
