Céline Dion, who was diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome in 2022, recently canceled her upcoming shows up until April 2024 due to a deterioration in her health status. “I’m not giving up,” she assured as she disclosed the cancellation.
Dion announced her health condition via her Instagram page in December 2022. The French Canadian singer posted a heartbreaking video explaining the neurological disorder to her followers. “These spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal chords to sing the way I’m used to,” Dion said.
