Heartbreaking Health Update on Celine Dion
The condition of Celine Dion’s health is worsening.
Following the diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome last year, the singer’s sister, Claudette Dion, revealed that Celine is no longer able to control certain body movements.
“She doesn’t have control over her muscles,” Claudette told 7 Jours, via translation from French. “What breaks my heart is that she’s always been disciplined. She’s always worked hard. Our mother always told her, ‘You’re going to do it well, you’re going to do it properly.'”
She noted, ”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.”
Recently Celine cancelled her Courage World Tour due to the rare neurological disorder, which can cause painful muscle spasms and stiffness.
“I’m so sorry to disappoint all of you once again,” wrote the 55-year-old singer on Instagram. “I’m working really hard to build back my strength, but touring can be very difficult even when you’re 100%. It’s not fair to you to keep postponing the shows, and even though it breaks my heart, it’s best that we cancel everything now until I’m really ready to be back on stage again.”
Linda, Celine’s sister, has been providing care to Celine in the Las Vegas area as she receives treatment for stiff-person syndrome from specialized doctors.
Even with her focus on resting, the Grammy winner recently enjoyed quality time with her sons watching the Montreal Canadiens take on the Vegas Golden Knights.
In footage posted online, Celine was seen meeting with coach Martin St. Louis and posing for a group photo.
“It’s such an honor to meet you,” she told him, via translation from French. ”It was an incredible night.”
