Courageous Celine Dion has been working hard to regain her voice and stamina so she can perform again, and insiders say the songbird’s nearly there and is planning a triumphant comeback next year.

Sources say the 57-year-old “My Heart Will Go On” singer, who revealed her battle with devastating stiff person syndrome in December 2022, is recovering better than expected.

The widow of her former manager René Angélil and mom of his sons René-Charles, 24, and 14-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy showed her progress in a July 25 video post of her dancing in the studio while listening to Sebastian Ingrosso’s remix of “A New Day”, featuring Celine.

“She’s doing great, her health is on track and she’s hitting the high notes again,” says an insider. “She’s gently rehearsing at home and continuing with her physical therapy to treat her SPS.

“She’s moving around pretty good, and her voice sounds wonderful, thanks to all the vocal exercises she’s been doing.”

“People can’t believe she’s doing so well so soon. Of course, she still has her bad days, but she’s getting stronger.”

The remix is just the beginning, notes the source, adding that the Canadian-born canary wants to perform next year.

“That’s her dream and she’s working hard to achieve it. She’s doing what she needs to speed up her comeback,” says the insider.

As Globe reported, Celine was forced to cancel her Courage World Tour three years ago due to crippling SPS, a rare nerve disorder that causes rigidity and muscle spasms, making walking difficult.

However, she performed the tune “Hymne à l’amour” live at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics’ opening ceremony.

Her battle with SPS followed a difficult decade including the 2016 throat cancer death of her 73-year-old husband, leaving her to raise their three sons alone.

Then came a period when friends thought Celine was acting erratic by walking around Paris in her pajamas, posting naked selfies on social media and other bizarre antics.

In one instance, she made fists and growled at fans.

Adds the insider, “The good news is Celine seems to be back on track and she’s making music again. She’s already been at rock bottom. The only way out is up.”
