Celine Dion enjoys game with her children
The French-Canadian superstar, despite her serious health issues, didn’t show a sign and was in great spirits. The artist’s children were there too with her, including son Rene-Charles and twins, Eddy and Nelson.
Due to her health struggles, she had no choice but to call off her ‘Courage’ world tour in 2020. She revealed about her stiff-person syndrome in December 2022.
Stiff-person syndrome is a “rare, progressive neurological disorder” that can cause stiff muscles in the torso, arms, and legs, as per the National Institutes of Health.
“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 that I’ve been going through,” Celine posted on social media.
“Recently, I have been diagnosed with a very rare neurological syndrome, which affects something like one in a million people, reports New York Post.
“All I know is singing,” she said, adding “It’s what I’ve done all my life, and it’s what I love to do the most."

“At one point, your heart and your body are trying to tell you something. It’s important to listen to it. She’s doing everything to recover. She’s a strong woman. It’s an illness we know so little about," she said.
“There are spasms — they’re impossible to control. You know how people often jump up in the night because of a cramp in the leg or the calf? It’s a bit like that, but in all muscles,” Claudette added.
