Celine Dion recently shared an update regarding her health, revealing that she will be rescheduling some of her tour dates to 2024. In an emotional video posted on her official Instagram page, the singer disclosed that she suffers from a rare neurological disorder called stiff-person syndrome.
In her Instagram post, Dion expressed the difficulty of discussing her health struggles and the challenges she has faced. She announced that due to her condition, she will not be able to resume her European tour as initially planned in February.
Stiff-person syndrome is a rare autoimmune movement disorder that affects the central nervous system, causing stiffness and rigidity in various muscle groups. Dion explained that the spasms associated with this condition impact every aspect of her daily life, including singing and walking.
Despite its rarity, stiff-person syndrome has significant implications for Dion’s ability to perform, with no known treatment and an unknown cause. However, she reassured fans that she is focusing on her recovery with the support of her medical team, aiming to manage her symptoms and eventually return to the stage.
