Céline Dion invites fan to concert after car ran over his foot
In July 2024, a car carrying Céline Dion ran over fan Nicolas’s foot outside the Royal Monceau hotel in Paris.
The 30-year-old from Quimper was among fans waiting outside when the car moved off with his foot under a wheel.
After receiving help from hotel staff, Nicolas waited more than six hours in the rain to meet Dion, who signed his record and an autograph.
Someone close to the singer told him he would be offered a concert ticket on a future tour, but her illness made him doubt he would see her perform.
In September 2026, after seeing tour dates, Nicolas asked about the promised ticket through the hotel.
Dion’s ticketing team confirmed he would be invited and asked which date suited him.
He attended a concert at the Plenitude Arena, fulfilling a childhood dream.

Céline Dion wants to meet you.
It lasted exactly two seconds, but it was incredibly intense.
With her illness, it was unthinkable that I would see her on stage again.
I was even asked which date suited me!
