Celine Dion Diagnosed With Rare Neurological Disorder

The Canadian vocalist, Celine Dion, suffers from stiff-person syndrome, a neurological condition that results in muscle spasms.

The Canadian singer Celine Dion said on Thursday that she had been given the diagnosis with Stiff-Person Syndrome, a rare neurological condition that causes muscle spasms and has forced her to postpone some of her European performances.

The 54-year-old announced the diagnosis and the move of her Courage World Tour from spring 2023 to 2024 in a video that she posted to Instagram.

Muscle stiffness and higher susceptibility to touch, sound, and emotional stimuli are two symptoms of stiff-person syndrome that can trigger muscle spasms.

Dion had to postpone her residency in Las Vegas in October of last year due to muscle spasms. The celebrity, however, has not yet made her diagnosis publicly known.

“While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what’s been causing all of the spasms that I’ve been having,” she said. “Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to.”

Even though Celine Dion adores her fans, the “My heart will go on” singer says she is currently concentrating on her health. Every day, she stated, she worked hard with her sports medicine therapist to regain her strength and her performance capacity. She cried as she thanked her followers for their support and said, “But I have to admit it’s been a struggle.” The Grammy-winning singer declared, “All I know is singing.”

Spring 2023 performances of Dion will take place the following year; however, eight of her summer 2023 performances have been postponed.
