The sun sets behind the mountains in an exclusive neighborhood just 30 minutes from the bustling Las Vegas strip.
Behind closed doors, a recognizable voice can be heard singing. “Is that Celine?” I ask, to which her security guard nods in affirmation.
Celine Dion, the musical megastar, is in a cheerful mood as I am about to interview her. Her iconic voice, once feared to be lost, can be heard singing behind the closed door.
In December 2022, Celine shared in an Instagram video that she had been diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder known as Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS).
Having struggled with this health issue for some time, Celine made the difficult decision to pull out of her world tour and has been rarely seen in public ever since.
The 56-year-old star reveals that the condition went undiagnosed for years, causing distress as she noticed changes in her voice during performances.
Despite the challenges, Celine has been working on managing her condition through medication, physical therapy, and the guidance of experts like Dr. Amanda Piquet.
She hopes to raise awareness and funds for SPS to find a cure for this debilitating autoimmune disease.
While her journey with SPS has been difficult, Celine remains optimistic about the future. She is preparing for a new show in Las Vegas and is determined to return to the stage.
Fans eagerly anticipate her comeback, knowing that whatever style she chooses to adopt, Celine Dion’s voice will continue to captivate audiences around the world.
