Celine Dion opens up about stiff-person syndrome

Meanwhile, the Paris residency marks Dion’s return to live performances after she announced her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis in December 2022.

At the time, the global icon said, “I’ve been dealing with problems with my health for a long time, and it’s been really difficult for me to face these challenges and to talk about everything I’ve been going through.”

“Recently I’ve been diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder called stiff-person syndrome [SPS], which affects something like one in a million people,” she had revealed.

In the same announcement, the ‘Queen of Power Ballads’ added that her condition was so severe that it “affects every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to.”

Following her return to the stage, the ‘My Heart Will Go On’ hitmaker became emotional during her September 12 show.

She reportedly told the audience, “Thank you so very much for coming. If it’s your first time in Paris, I hope you fall in love with it, just like I did. Finally, it’s amazing we are all together.”

“I made a promise. I made a promise to come back, to be back on stage. So here I am, singing for you and singing for me, singing life! Thank you so very much for your support, your patience and if I may say so: I am everything I am because you loved me,” Dion added.
