Pop superstar Céline Dion recently shared her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome in a candid interview with Vogue France. The neurological disorder causes progressive muscular stiffness, leading Dion to put her touring schedule on hold and retreat from the public eye.
Despite her diagnosis in December 2022, Dion made a surprise appearance at the Grammys in February, receiving a standing ovation from the audience. She expressed her ongoing struggle with the disease, admitting that while she hopes for a miracle cure, she is learning to live with it.
To manage her condition, Dion undergoes athletic, physical, and vocal therapy five days a week, focusing on various parts of her body and voice. She revealed that she initially questioned why this happened to her and considered giving up on performing altogether. However, she has chosen to work hard with a medical team to be the best version of herself.
Dion’s future in music remains uncertain as she prioritizes her health and strength. She emphasized the importance of listening to her body and not rushing back into performing until she feels ready. Despite the challenges she faces, Dion is determined to persevere and hold onto her passion and dreams.
