Canadian singer, Celine Dion has revealed the mystery behind her health status in a captioned video on Thursday via her Instagram page which reads, “Celine Dion reschedules Spring 2023 shows to 2024, and cancels eight of her summer 2023 shows.”
In a teary video, she declared that she has just been diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder called the stiff person syndrome which affects 1 in a million people
The ‘My heart will go on ‘ singer who initially apologized to everyone in the video for taking so long to reach out said, the rare disease has been causing all the spasms she is experiencing and the spasms affect almost every aspect of her daily life.
“Hello everyone, I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to reach out to you. I miss you all so much and can’t wait to be on stage talking to you in person.
“As you know I’ve always been an open book and I wasn’t ready to say anything before but I’m ready now.
“I’ve been dealing with problems with my health for a long time and it’s been difficult for me to face these challenges and to talk about everything that I’ve been going through.
“Recently, I’ve been diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder called the stiff person syndrome which affects 1 in a million people
“While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what’s been causing all the spasms I’ve been having.”
Dion added that the spasms prevent her from singing the way she should. “Unfortunately, these spasms affect 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.”
The 54-year-old singer, however, mentioned that her condition has led to the cancellation of her proposed February tour in Europe. And then hangs on hope as she walks her way to recovery.
“All I know is singing, it’s all I have done all my life and it’s what I love to do the most.
“For me to reach you again, I have no choice but to concentrate on my health and I have hope that I am on the road to recovery. This is my focus. I am doing everything to recuperate” she added affirmatively.
