Celine Dion is reportedly set to make a triumphant return to the spotlight by performing in a top-secret Christmas advert for Charlotte Tilbury, according to sources. The 57-year-old Canadian singer, who has been battling stiff-person syndrome (SPS), is said to have collaborated with the British make-up mogul on the festive campaign.
Dion revealed her diagnosis in 2022 and subsequently cancelled her remaining tour dates. However, she is now gearing up for an unexpected comeback with Charlotte Tilbury, 52, a longtime friend. A source told The Sun: 'Celine's comeback is a huge coup for the brand and will have everyone talking about their uber-luxe campaign.'
The insider added: '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.' MailOnline has contacted Dion's representatives for comment.
Stiff-person syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms. In a 2022 Instagram video, Dion emotionally explained how the condition affects her daily life, including her ability to sing. She has since been working with a sports medicine therapist to build back her strength and ability to perform.
Last year, Dion gave a health update to Vogue, expressing that her 'happiness has come back.' She also performed at the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony and presented an award at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
