Fans of Celine Dion probably shed a few tears. Last March 30th, on her 58th birthday, the Quebecois singer announced a big piece of news. “Over these past years, day after day, I have felt your prayers and support, your kindness and love. You have helped me in a way that I cannot put into words, and I am really lucky to be able to count on your support,” the singer declared. “This year, I receive the most beautiful birthday gift of my life… I have the chance to see you again, to perform for you in Paris starting in September! I feel good, I am strong, I am enthusiastic, of course a little nervous, but most importantly, I am grateful to all of you! I love you all and I will see you soon!” The concert dates have been announced and excitement has spread on social media. Since March 30th, there have been over nine million connections. However, despite the large capacity of Paris La Defense Arena (45,000 seats), there will inevitably be some disappointed fans.
The only disappointment that Robert Charlebois had with Celine Dion is not being able to sing a duet with her. And it’s neither his fault nor hers, as he tells in an interview. The legendary 81-year-old singer explains the story with Aldo Nova and how a potential duo with Celine Dion never materialized. Although he was disappointed, he still dreams of a future collaboration.
The Montreal singer exclaims his excitement about Celine Dion’s upcoming Paris concerts and praises her bravery in facing challenges. He predicts that the audience will give her a thunderous ovation before she even begins to sing, showing their love and support.
Charlebois keeps updated through his publicist, conductor, and musicians, ensuring that everything is going smoothly. He hopes to be in the capital to witness the event and believes that both Canadian and French fans will support Celine Dion’s decision to perform in Paris first.
