Press release after press release, the mystery only thickens around the health of singer Celine Dion, 53 years old. Last October, her team revealed that she was the victim of severe muscle spasms and that her return to Las Vegas had to be canceled. Very quickly, his relatives gave reassuring speeches swept away by shocking revelations about a supposed mobility problem that would prevent him from walking … Valérie Lemercier, in contact with people close to the diva, is also worried.
Interviewed by the newspaper The Parisian, the actress and director of the real/fake biopic Aline says she has no direct news from Celine Dion herself – to whom she wrote letters “for two or three years“to inform him of the project and offer him to see the film – just like members close to the diva.”I’m worried, she’s not in good shape, it’s the 6th anniversary of René’s death, she’s canceled dates again… No one I know, or who knows her well, has any news. I hope it will get better“, she confided. Would there be an omerta around the star? A more serious state of health than we think and that should not be revealed?
Valérie Lemercier, whose film has totaled 1.3 million spectators in France, however, remains hopeful that Céline will one day be able to see her film, which is currently sold almost everywhere in the world. It will be released in the United States in April.
Since the announcement, on January 15, of the outright cancellation of the rest of the dates of the North American tour of the Courage World Tour – paused in March 2020 due to a pandemic – anxiety is mounting among the singer’s fans. Celine Dion then wrote on her Instagram account: “I really hoped to be ready to go back on stage now, but I find that I have to be more patient and follow the recommendations of my doctors (…) I will be so happy when I get back to my health, when the pandemic is behind us and that I will go on stage again.“
Officially the Courage World Tour should resume next May, for the European part. She must give no less than six concerts in France…
