The music superstar delivered a pre-recorded message to the multi-national singing competition as Dion continues to battle a rare neurological disorder called Stiff Person Syndrome.

Beloved Canadian chanteuse Céline Dion surprised fans and competitors alike with a message of love and gratitude at this year's Eurovision Song Contest, a competition she says was "life-changing" for her and helped launch her to global superstardom.

The 2025 Eurovision Song Contest final in Switzerland will have to "wait and see" if Celine Dion performs. There has been speculation that Canadian singer Dion, who won for the Swiss in 1988 with Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi, could take to the St Jakobshalle stage, amid her stepping back from touring due to health issues.
