Céline Dion greeted fans today as she left her hotel, hours before she kicked off her comeback concert in Paris.

The Canadian singer returns to the stage on Saturday for her first full concert in six years, to open a sell-out Paris residency after a battle with a rare neurological disorder put a pause in her career.

Some fans arrived as early as 06:00 to get a spot in front of LeRoyal Monceau hotel to catch a glimpse of the star before she left.

She is one of the best-selling music artists of all time and is due to perform a series of 26 concerts over the next eight months.
