Céline sings backstage
The video clip showing Celine Dion singing backstage at the Grammys with American artist Sonyae Elise quickly went around the world, sparking hundreds of comments of joy on social networks. With reason. This is the first time that the Quebec diva has spoken out in public since announcing her illness. “I love this clip so much. It sounds and looks so good. God bless Céline!”, wrote a user. “This is how you interact with a queen,” added one admirer, referring to Taylor Swift who ignored Celine when she came on stage to snatch her Grammy from her hands. Seeing her sing like this represents one more step towards a return and a snub to those who claimed that Céline could no longer sing.

Coming to present the very last prize on the stage of the prestigious Grammy Awards gala was certainly a statement on the part of Celine Dion. Resplendent, visibly fit and with her characteristic confidence, everything about her seemed to scream: “I’m back!” Appearing on the arm of a René-Charles who was very attentive to his needs also silenced the gossip concerning a supposed disagreement between mother and son. A moving moment that even Taylor Swift’s faux pas could not spoil.
