Referred as the “Queen of powerful ballads”, Celine Dion finally breaks the silence regarding a rare disease she has been diagnosed with. The 56-year-old singer recently interviewed with Vogue France, spilling details regarding her upcoming tour program.
Celine Dion’s rare disease
“My Heart Will Go On” singer Celine Dion has been diagnosed with ‘Stiff Person Syndrome’. It is a disease that causes “muscle rigidity and spasms in addition to disability.” But Celine boldly stated that her career and passion for music have made her “want to never give up on anything.”
While giving an interview to Vogue France, Celine shared details on how she has been coping with this rare syndrome. She stated that during the initial days of her health journey, she often found herself questioning as to why this disease had befallen her.
She even questioned herself whether she was to blame for the occurrence of this syndrome. But, along the way she has somehow made peace with the fact that sometimes some questions do not provide answers. And the only way to navigate forward is acceptance of your circumstances!
She further stated – “I’ve chosen to work with all my body and soul, from head to toe, with a medical team. I want to be the best I can be.”
Celine Dion’s upcoming tour program
It has been around 5 years since Celine Dion took to the stage for a live performance. She was last spotted during the 2024 Grammy Awards where she presented the Album of the Year award to Taylor Swift.
When asked about her touring schedule and planning, Celine clarified – “I can’t answer that. Because for four years, I’ve been saying to myself that I’m not going back, that I’m ready, that I’m not ready. As things stand, I can’t stand here and say to you: ‘Yes, in four months.’ I don’t know. My body will tell me.”
Currently, Celine resides in Las Vegas with her children, Rene Charles, Nelson, and Eddy.
