Celine Dion is reportedly set to ‘perform for a top secret Christmas advert for Charlotte Tilbury in a triumphant return to the spotlght amid her health battle.
After months away, it is now rumoured the much-loved Canadian singer, Celine Dion, 57, might make her comeback in a collab with the best-selling make-up house.
The My Heart Will Go On hitmaker revealed in 2022 that she was suffering from stiff-person syndrome (SPS) and canceled her remaining tour dates at the time.
Yet the singer is gearing up for an unexpected comeback with the British make-up mogul, 52, who is also a pal of Celine’s.
‘Celine’s comeback is a huge coup for the brand and will have everyone talking about their uber-luxe campaign,’ a source has revealed.
‘Celine was delighted to be asked by Charlotte, who she’s been close with for years, and was so pleased she was able to do it
‘She loved getting glammed up on the day and no expense was spared in creating a magical, festive scene. Fans are going to love it,’ the insider told The Sun.
Stiff-person syndrome is a rare neurological disorder which ’causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms that come and go and can worsen over time,’ per John Hopkins Medicine.
In a video uploaded at the time to her Instagram page, the singer had emotionally explained, ‘Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life.
‘Sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to.
She added: ‘I’m working hard with my sports medicine therapist every day to build back my strength and my ability to perform again, but I have to admit it’s been a struggle.
‘All I know is singing. It’s what I’ve done all my life, and it’s what I love to do the most,’ the mom-of-three continued.
Last year in May, Celine Dion who also shared a moving message amid Eurovision’s semi-finals – gave a health update during an interview with Vogue and expressed that her ‘happiness has come back.
‘
She continued, ‘It has been a big burden on my shoulders, and a lot of that weight’s gone…because now I can just focus on reality. That’s wonderful.’
And during an appearance on Today also last year, the performer stated, ‘I believe in myself, in my bravery’ while adding that she will not let the disorder ‘control my life.’
‘I’m going to come onstage because I’m ready. And my vocal cords will not scare me because I’m going to be ready, and I’m going to hit those notes.’
Celine Dion whose experience with the disease was shown in her documentary I Am: Celine Dion – gave a moving performance at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics as she belted out L’Hymne à L’Amour by Edith Piaf.
She also presented the Album of the Year award to Taylor Swift at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
