Celine Dion looked like she was having a great time as she was seen watching Katy Perry's final Las Vegas residency performance over the weekend.

The 55-year-old was spotted sitting in the VIP section of the Resorts World Theatre, where she was joined by celebrities such as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. The concert was one of her first public appearances in three years.

Celine has been out of the spotlight since announcing last year she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological condition that gives people painful muscle spasms. The singer looked incredible as she put on a glamorous display at Katy's show on Saturday.

A picture of Celine standing next to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, and fans went wild. "THE CELINE DION???? OH MY GOD," one person gushed.

Another fan wrote: "She looks super beautiful," while a third person said: "It’s beautiful to see her again." Another person agreed, adding they were "happy to see Celine."

Celine's trip to Katy's show comes after she made her first public appearance in three years last week. She posed for pictures with fans as she attended a hockey game on Monday with her twins and her eldest son, René-Charles, 22. Celine has been staying out of the spotlight after announcing last year that she had been diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome.

The singer revealed her health diagnosis to her fans in October 2021 when she was forced to delay her Las Vegas shows. She then cancelled the North America leg of her tour in January. The singer suffers with symptoms such as muscle spasms, muscles rigidity and frequent falls. "I was really hoping that I'd be good to go by now, but I suppose I just have to be more patient and follow the regimen that my doctors are prescribing," Celine explained as she was forced to quit her tour and prioritise her recovery.

Earlier this year, the All By Myself hitmaker's sister said she was struggling. Speaking to Le Journal de Montreal, Claudette said: "When I call her and she's busy, I speak to my sister Linda who lives with her and tells me that she's working hard. She's listening to the top researchers in the field of this rare disease as much as possible.

"I honestly think that she mostly needs to rest. She always goes above and beyond, she always tries to be the best and top of her game. At one point, your heart and your body are trying to tell you something. It's important to listen to it."

Claudette went on to explain in August that her sister Linda moved in with Celine to help care for her. She added: "We trust her. It's innate to her, she's disciplined in every area of her life… We can't find any medicine that works, but having hope is important."
