The singer has lost muscle control due to the rare neurological disorder, casting uncertainty on her return to the stage.

  • Celine Dion's sister, Claudette Dion, has provided an update on the singer's health, revealing that she has lost control of her muscles due to Stiff-Person Syndrome.
  • The condition is a rare neurological disorder that affects approximately one in a million people and is twice as common in women than men.
  • Claudette Dion expressed hope that Celine Dion may return to the stage one day, but the extent of her capabilities remains uncertain as the vocal cords and heart are also muscles.
  • All of Celine Dion's remaining concerts were officially canceled in May, and she has maintained a low profile since sharing her diagnosis.
  • Celine Dion made her first public appearance in more than three years last month when she attended an NHL hockey game with her sons in Las Vegas.
