Celine Dion wanted to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel, but had to cancel at short notice due to health reasons, according to media reports.

Until the end, there was much speculation about whether Celine Dion would perform at the Eurovision Song Contest final on May 17 in Basel. To the disappointment of many fans, the performance did not take place.

Celine Dion suffered seizure shortly before planned performance at Eurovision Song Contest final

Now the French newspaper "Le Parisien" has published details about it. Celine Dion was indeed willing to perform and had also traveled, according to the report. But shortly before the performance, the singer suffered a seizure, so she had to cancel at the last minute and fly back to Las Vegas on her private jet. Celine Dion suffers from the so-called Stiff-Person Syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness and spasms. Because Celine Dion had performed at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris in July 2024, many fans hoped that she would also sing at the ESC in Basel.
