After some more thought, I've decided that theres 5 or 6 reasons pointing to you possibly being Pepe 😄🥰🤗

Only guessing though, I wouldn't really have a clue

I can assure you that Dreamy is definitely not Pepe.

Such exciting times! Wouldn’t it be fair that people who had tickets for the canceled Courage-shows get access to a ticket-presale? 😬

It would be the fairest option, but unfortunately I doubt it will actually happen for us.

Sorry - just stepping into this conversation: Who HONESTLY thinks that Pepe himself will be sitting around somewhere reading the comments up her and answering to them??? PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think instead of shows they meant promotional Céline posters will be displayed in these cities.

 Yes, and they're only quoting a few.

Says the article (translated from German):
 

Singer Celine Dion has fueled rumors that she is on the verge of a comeback after a years-long break from performing in Paris due to illness.

After numerous posters featuring Dion's song titles that appeared in the French capital yesterday led to speculation about a performance by the Canadian in Paris, Dion posted numerous photos on Instagram showing her in Paris at different times of her life.

She simply wrote the sentence: „I don't know how to tell you…“. Dion plans a series of concerts in the fall at the Paris La Defense Arena, the largest concert hall in Europe with a maximum capacity of around 40,000 seats, wrote the Canadian newspaper „La Presse“. According to this, there will be two concerts per week in September and October.

Singer suffers from stiff person syndrome

Dion suffers from stiff-person syndrome with severe muscle spasms. Whether she can travel or perform depends on her daily form. At the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, she sang publicly during the opening ceremony for the first time since 2019.

In November 2024, she performed at a show in Saudi Arabia. At the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in Basel in May last year, there was a vain wait for Dion to perform.

Dion had already raised the prospect of a possible comeback a few days ago when she paid tribute to her late father on Instagram. „I'll never forget how you got to my gigs“ Dion wrote in the post. „I love you, and when I go back on stage, I know you'll be there.“

She will do shows in her home province ; there’s no way she’ll not go home ….

I hope we get a good, in-depth interview about how she is physically doing so that we and others can stop speculating.  I am sure they don't want people to not book their tickets because of fear of her not performing.

Me too. I’d also love if somebody recorded a new Amazon/ streaming service series to release after about everything involved in returning. I’d love to see the prep/ rehearsals/ cautionary steps taken for her health… etc. 

“I Am:Céline Dion” felt a little unfinished and I think it needs this next chapter .

[Alex_Incognito]

That's an excellent idea.  Where I AM left off, it felt like the end of the world.  Then she came out of the woodwork to release it looking great.

Heeeello!!!! 

I’m back! 😊 So happy and genuinely grateful for the forum upgrade! I’m no longer getting locked out! Yayy

Alrightt  here’s my question for us the hardcore fans: how are we securing good seats for opening night?

I really wish her team would do something special for us long-time fans. You know decent seats at a fair price, not crazy VIP markup. Just a little thank you to the die-hard fans who’ve been there for her for the past 30+ years (31 years for me personally).

[AdrienneM]

I’m so glad that she’s coming back to the stage, it was something id made a decent amount of peace with never happening again. Frankly she could come out in the exact same get up from the courage tour and do the same show and I wouldn’t care… to see her back, happy, and on stage again is enough in itself. I think we take this one step at a time anyway, let the big come back stand on its own merit for now. I think if we all start to clamour for more shows here there and everywhere that’s precisely what she doesn’t need; pressure and demands. As someone who had in a way said “goodbye” to Celine the performer, out of respect and acceptance of the possibility, Im just elated that she’s going to be back where she belongs. Bring on September!!!

That handwriting on the posters is actually a font I created 20 years ago, back when I was just a first-year student graphic design and hadn’t quite mastered smooth vector lettering yet. 😂

Not saying I deserve credit… but also… where’s my credit? 😂
I’ll accept payment in the form of a selfie or a meet & greet.

We definitely need a new documentary following her back on the road. Let's hope they have a few more surprises in store for us.

That the first 25 rows are just the long time fans. That would be a dream.

You were exactly who I thought about when I saw them!

The local news confirmed Celine's return. This is what we needed to bring back all the fans. So excited to see the forum buzzing again. 😄

Such a great feeling and excitement at a time where everything seems depressing, scary and unsure worldwide.

Can’t wait to see what the next week has in store.

Just curious, you don't like the vibe for a show in Paris.

But... are you skipping this return? Or your love for Celine takes over and you be there opening night?

Of course I would love to be there for her first show back but… for me I was hoping it would be in Vegas in an intimate theatre with a lot of time and expensive thrown behind it like only vegas residency’s can do and like she deserves.

That’s currently not the plan and for now and to be fair a lot regarding this Paris residency is still unclear at the moment.

Will other cities follow?

Is Vegas still on the table?

When things become clearer over the next few weeks and months I may change my mind, but for now, for me personally, a French show in an arena doesn’t excite me enough to attend.

But let’s see how things evolve, I never say never at the same time 😊

From a marketing perspective, that would be genious.  But if it's market that way, I hope these are her "last' concerts Cher and Streisand-style.    Maybe retiring from "touring" but not stand-alone concerts.

I remember when LTAL came out she had said it may be her last album because she thought it was the best of herself and why continue to release albums when you’ve given everything.  She couldn’t see how any album after could top it. At the time I thought this is certainly a marketing tactic.
 

  How many albums since? Haha

[LeChauffeur100]

This might be my first time ever seeing Celine live! I just hope I can get a ticket before they vanish, I’m already anxious about that. To the experienced Celine concert goers, do you have any tips to secure nice seats at her shows?

The wild part is that it's been 26 years since it was released!

And your font that you created, I remember saving it and it is now tattooed on my arm in the form of PQTME lyrics!! So thank you, Leanne!
