Paris has been plastered with posters featuring Céline Dion song titles, from “Pour Que tu M’aimes Encore” to “Power of Love.” The billboards scattered across the city arrive as speculation grows that the singer is planning to host a series of comeback concerts.

This weekend, the French outlet La Presse reported that Dion will host residency-style appearances at Paris La Défense Arena in September and October. The series of shows will reportedly include two performances per week at the 40,000-capacity venue.


Representatives for Dion did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.

Dion last performed a proper headlining concert in 2020 on the Courage tour. The run was ultimately cut short due to the pandemic. In the years that followed, taking the stage became an increasingly strenuous act for the artist as her struggles with stiff-person syndrome surfaced new complications. “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,” Dion said in 2022.

As there is no cure for the rare neurological disease, Dion has been learning to live with it and continues to maintain her health through constant exercise. “Five days a week, I undergo athletic, physical, and vocal therapy,” she said in 2024. “I work on my toes, my knees, my calves, my fingers, my singing, my voice … I have to learn to live with it now and stop questioning myself.”

Dion has returned to the stage on two rare occasions in recent years. In 2024, she performed “Hymne à L’amour” in a moving appearance at the Paris Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. Later that year, she performed “The Power of Love” and “I’m Alive” at the 1001 Seasons of Elie Saab fashion show in Saudi Arabia.

The Most Revealing Celebrity Confessionals from Rosalía’s ‘Lux’ Tour

Rosalía has always carved out her own lane as a pop star, and that’s especially true when it comes to her Lux world tour. Every night, the Spanish singer delivers show-stopping visuals, ballet moves, and operatic vocals. In between these elements, Rosalía has also built upon the religious imagery all over Lux with a unique idea: Each night, special guests deliver a confession to the singer in a recreated gothic confessional booth, just before she performs the biting track “La Perla.”

Since she kicked off the 57-date trek, Rosalía has invited a handful of famed stars, musicians and models alike, to unload their deepest, darkest secrets and sins related to their love lives. Here’s a list of all of the celebrity confessions, so far.

Hear U2’s Joyous New Single ‘Street of Dreams’ From Upcoming Studio Album

Two months after teasing their new song with a video shoot on a crowded street in Mexico City, U2 have dropped “Street of Dreams,” the leadoff single from their upcoming studio album, slated for release before the end of the year. The joyful, anthemic song was produced by their longtime collaborator Jacknife Lee.

The “Street of Dreams” video was shot when the band were in Mexico City to attend the Street Child World Cup Finals Tournament at Parque Ecológico Lago de Texcoco. They filmed near the Plaza Santo Domingo in the middle of a rainstorm, and were invited onto an apartment balcony by a family after the band’s generator failed in the rain.

Green Day Diss the Devil and Defy Death on New Song ‘I’m Never Gonna R.I.P.’

Green Day are back with a rollicking new song, “I’m Never Gonna R.I.P.,” which will appear on the soundtrack for the band’s upcoming coming-of-age comedy, Nimrods.

“I’m Never Gonna R.I.P.” harkens back to the earliest days of rock & roll with its “Rock Around the Clock”-style groove, but the crunchy guitar tones and bratty, invincible lyrics are pure Green Day. “The devil’s on my tail but he’s chasing a ghost,” Billie Joe Armstrong wails before launching into a final chorus: “I’m never gonna R.I.P/I’m never gonna R.I.P/Might go down in history cause/I ain’t ever gonna R.I.P.”

The Legend of Cynthia Plaster Caster

Feb. 25, 1968. The Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago, Room 1628. Jimi Hendrix’s pants are on the floor, and Cynthia Albritton is ready. Along with her friend and helper, Marilyn, she carefully measures equal parts dental alginate powder and 70-degree water. Their friend Dianne, the “plater” — the young woman designated with arousing the subject — is going down on Hendrix, trying to get him to the edge.

When Albritton, Marilyn, and Dianne arrived downtown that afternoon, they weren’t sure they’d make it inside his suite, much less take off the 25-year-old guitar idol’s skintight bell-bottoms. They’d followed Hendrix and his band, the Experience, from the Civic Opera House, where they’d just played, to the Hilton, where they were staying. When Hendrix pulled up, they introduced themselves and flashed him a suitcase with their groupie collective’s name emblazoned in a white oval: The Plaster Casters of Chicago. They were there to immortalize his penis or “Hampton Wick” (a committed Anglophile, Albritton used Cockney slang whenever she could).
