Canadian singer Celine Dion, known for powerful vocals and emotional performances, is facing a significant health challenge – Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurological condition.
The 55-year-old, celebrated for the iconic song My Heart Will Go On, is experiencing the effects of the condition, with her sister Claudette Dion revealing that she has now “lost control of her muscles.
What breaks my heart is that she’s always been disciplined,” Claudette told Canadian news show 7 Jours. “She’s always worked hard. Our mother always told her, ‘You’re going to do it well. You’re going to do it properly.’”
Claudette emphasized Celine’s desire to perform again, saying. “It’s true that in both our dreams and hers, the goal is to return to the stage.” “In what capacity? I don’t know,” she added.
Claudette shared that Celine’s condition is rare, affecting only about one in a million people. “Some people have lost hope because it’s all illness that isn’t well known,” she said.
The cause is unclear, but it’s believed to be related to the immune system. Due to limited research, finding solutions for Celine’s symptoms, like muscle stiffness and spasms, has been challenging.While dealing with the condition Celine has kept a low profile but she continues to receive support from fans through her family charity – Foundation Maman Dion.
Claudette said, “If only you knew the number of phone calls the Foundation gets about Celine! People tell us they love her, and they’re praying for her. She gets so many messages, presents and blessed crucifixes.”
