Overview

• In a new interview cited by multiple outlets, Dion confirmed she was in Basel rehearsing for the Eurovision final when she suffered a seizure.
• The planned comeback performance was canceled at the last moment, and she departed Switzerland that evening on a private flight to Las Vegas.
• Organizers had prepared a contingency, and Dion recorded a message during rehearsal, but it was not broadcast during the May 17 final.
• She had planned to sing her 1988 winning song, “Ne partez pas sans moi,” which would have marked her first major stage appearance since the 2024 Paris Olympics.
• Her continuing symptoms from Stiff-Person Syndrome leave the timing of any large-scale return to live performance uncertain.
