When was Celine Dion last seen in public?

Celine Dion, battling Stiff Person Syndrome, has been out of the public eye, with her sister Claudette Dion updating fans about her condition. The disorder has reportedly impacted Celine's ability to walk and sing, leading to a pause in her live performances and tours, as per Variety.

In November 2023, Celine made a public appearance at Katy Perry's Las Vegas residency and an NHL hockey game. However, she had to cancel her scheduled performances due to her condition.

Recently, Amazon MGM acquired a documentary, 'I Am: Celine Dion', chronicling Dion's fight with the syndrome over a year. The artist hopes the documentary will help raise awareness about this rare condition.
