The musical legend released the trailer for her new documentary about her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome. Here’s what you need to know about her condition.
“My Heart Will Go On” hitmaker Celine Dion is currently battling Stiff Person Syndrome. Last spring, the 55-year-old singer canceled her Courage world tour due to complications from her illness. The songstress shared in May 2023 that it was a “tremendous disappointment” and said that refunds would be available to fans. “It’s not fair to you to keep postponing the shows, and even though it breaks my heart, it’s best that we cancel everything now until I’m really ready to be back on stage again,” she said in a statement.
Despite her health issues, Celine still made a surprise appearance during the 2024 Grammy Awards on February 4. She presented the award for Album of the Year which went to Taylor Swift. Celine received a standing ovation as she walked out on stage. “Thank you all. I love you right back,” she said to the audience.
Celine is one of the most popular singers in the world. Not only is she known best for her iconic song in the Titanic movie, but she’s gone on to win a total of five Grammy Awards in her career. In addition, the blonde beauty became a Las Vegas residency legend with over 15 years of residency time under her belt! With such a vivacious personality and a love of performing, it seems crazy to think that the last time the Canadian powerhouse has performed live was on July 5, 2019 at the BST concert in Hyde Park, London.
After postponing her tour several times post-pandemic, in December 2022, Celine made the announcement that she was suffering from a very rare health condition, one that may keep her from the stage for a very long time. After canceling her tour in May 2023, Celine promised that she wouldn’t “give up” and said she hoped to get on the road when her strength is back. Most recently, Celine released a trailer for her new documentary which chronicles her battle with the condition. Here’s everything to know about her health condition, how she’s doing today, and more.
