No, it never was a practical aircraft and became obsolete, unsafe, and unmaintainable.
In the 1960s when it was designed the US, USSR, and Canada also designed similar SSTs. Only the USSR actually succeeded in building and flying theirs. However due to environmental issues, concerns over property damage from sonic booms, rising costs, etc. all of these other projects were ended by the 1980s.
Eventually those issues caught the Concorde too, and following some serious accidents including the complete loss of one plane and all aboard when a tire blew out after running over debris on the runway, it was decided to end it too.

Will the Concorde ever fly passengers again?
No it will not, in fact it will never fly again. The aircraft was totally withdrawn from service in 2003 and all remaining examples are in museums.It could not be put back into the air, even if a sample could be bought from a Museum and you could afford to run and maintain it, as the makers have withdrawn all engineering support after British Airways and Air France stopped Concorde services
