Since fully recovering from a virus that she had earlier in the year, Celine is eager to return to the stage. “I had a rough time a few months ago, but I’m back to 100% and I can’t wait to do the show,” said Celine.

During April and May, Celine began recording songs for her next English and French CDs which will be released later this year. The French CD will feature all new material whereas the English CD will feature studio versions of previously unreleased songs from her Las Vegas show as well as several brand new songs. “We do a lot of songs in the show that I’ve never recorded before and people are always asking for these when they visit our boutique, so it’s great that we’ll finally have these recorded.” Celine added, “I’ve also received some amazing new songs that I’m very excited about and eventually we hope to put one or two of these into the show.”
