Exactly one year ago, with a social video message, Céline Dion informed fans about her most difficult battle. The diagnosis of “stiff person syndrome”, a rare neurological disorder that affects one in a million people and causes progressive muscle stiffness and disabling cramps. “The spasms prevent me from using my vocal cords to sing as I’m used to”, she explained when announcing the stop of the tour Courage and the postponement of the concerts to spring 2024.

How is Céline Dion today
Claudette Dion in an interview with the Canadian 7 daysspoke about Céline’s fight against the rare neuropathy affecting the central nervous system diagnosed last year. “He lost control of his muscles”he admitted and then confessed the strong desire of Queen of Power Ballads to return to perform and excite his fans from all over the world. “Of course, in our dreams and in hers there is the idea of returning to the stage. In what state? I don’t know. The vocal cords are muscles and the heart is also a muscle.”
The stiff person syndrome (from the English stiff-person syndrome, SPS) is a rare and little-known disease and for this reason the Fondation Maman Dion is moving to search for cures or treatments that can cure or at least alleviate the condition. “If you only knew how many phone calls the Céline Foundation receives, people tell us that they love her and that they pray for her”, said her sister, “She receives many messages, gifts and blessed crucifixes”.
“What pains me is that she has always been disciplined. She has always worked hard,” he continued, recalling the willpower and zeal of one of the most beloved and talented singers in the music system. Alongside her in this battle, her sister Linda and the three children, René-Charles, 22 years old and the twins Eddy and Nelson, 13, born from her marriage to manager René Angélil, who died at the age of 74 in 2016 from throat cancer. Just with them last month, the 55-year-old made her first public appearance in over three years, attending a hockey game in Las Vegas.
“These spasms affect every aspect of my life, sometimes they cause difficulties when I walk and do not allow me to use my vocal cords to sing as I am used to doing”, she explained in the video in which she informed fans of the pathology, “I have a great team of doctors who work alongside me to help me get better and my precious children who support me and give me hope. I am working hard with my sports medicine therapist every day to regain my strength and ability to perform again, But I have to admit it’s a struggle.”
A difficult moment that did not discourage a section of haters and did not prevent the emergence of fake news (in August the news of his death began to circulate on social media ndr). “Why do you say that Céline is in a wheelchair? Why do you say she has cancer? Why do you make up stories?”, The words of Claudette Dion, “my sister is psychologically strong, she is not depressed and she has not lost her love for life.”
