The truth is, Celine Dion may never perform again, so watching the superstar perform in her prime during the ‘Taking Chances’ tour may be the closest some fans get to attending one of her concerts ever again.
Celine set out on the 2008–2009 ‘Taking Chances’ World Tour after she dropped the 2007 studio album of the same name. It became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time.
It was filming over the course of two stops and released in 2010 for worldwide audience to enjoy.
Just over a decade later, a debilitating neurological disorder has made it so Celine can barely speak, let alone sing. So, if you’re looking to watch the concert film, we know how to.

Celine Dion’s Last Tour and Why It Was Canceled
Days before the world officially started shutting down due to Covid-19, Celine Dion was performing to packed audiences in Newark, NJ.
Her March 8th show turned out to be the final of her ‘Courage’ tour, which was meant to travel the world well into 2022. At first, fans thought the pandemic kept her away and cancelled her tour. Then, the harsh truth was revealed.
Celine shockingly shared with the world in late 2022 that that she had been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, a neurological disorder affecting her muscles. For the next year, she was rarely heard from, opting to leave the spotlight to find a way forward with her diagnosis.
In the spring of 2024, she reemerged, ready to share her story, not only in interviews, but with an in-depth documentary titled I Am: Celine Dion.
When asked if she’s recovered enough to sing and tour again, Celine shared that it may never happen, as just the sheer act of singing makes it feel like someone is ‘strangling‘ her.
