The 58-year-old singer slipped while performing “Dans un autre monde” at the Plenitude Arena in Nanterre, a suburb west of Paris, according to one report. Her pants appeared to catch on her heel, the report said, and she quickly got up and kept performing. Entertainment Weekly reported that Ms. Dion was walking and jumping across the stage when she fell, and that she offered the audience a thumbs-up as she stood.

Ms. Dion is in the middle of a 26-show residency at the arena. The run grew from 16 dates after she added 10 more shows for 2027 because of what the Canadian Press described as overwhelming demand. Entertainment Weekly reported that the first leg ends Oct. 17 and resumes in May.
The engagement marks Ms. Dion’s return to the stage after a long break, with her last full concerts coming in 2020. AFP reported that the announcement set off a ticket rush not seen since Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.
Ms. Dion announced in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that she said affects “something like one in a million people.” She said the spasms sometimes made walking difficult and limited her ability to sing, and she postponed her European tour.
