The «My Heart Will Go On» singer lives with stiff-person syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes painful muscle spasms.
Celine Dion has lost control of her muscles as the autoimmune condition she lives with, known as stiff-person syndrome, progresses, the singer’s sister said in a recent interview.
«She doesn’t have control over her muscles,» Claudette Dion told 7 Jours in an interview in French last week, reported E! News. «What breaks my heart is that she’s always been disciplined. She’s always worked hard. Our mother always told her, ‘You’re going to do it well, you’re going to do it properly.'»
The Canadian icon revealed her diagnosis publicly in late 2022 in an emotional video she posted on social media. She said the condition was the cause of the painful spasms that she’d been experiencing.
«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,» she said.
