Earlier this year, Celine Dion announced she was canceling the remaining dates of her Courage World Tour as she dealt with a serious health condition.
The pop icon, 55, revealed in late 2022 that she had been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological condition that can cause severe muscle stiffness and spasms.
Dion has been candid with fans about her physical health over the years, opening up about her fertility struggles and shooting down eating disorder rumors.
As Dion takes some time away from the limelight to focus on her physical well being, here is a look at some of the health issues she has spoken about publicly over the years.
How is Celine Dion doing in 2023?
Dion shared an update on her health in May 2023 as she announced the cancelation of her world tour, which had been scheduled to run until October.
“I’m working really hard to build back my strength, but touring can be very difficult even when you’re 100%,” she said in a message to fans on her website. “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. I want you all to know, I’m not giving up… and I can’t wait to see you again!”
This year, Dion also starred as herself in “Love Again,” a rom-com also starring Priyanka Chopra and Sam Heughan.
Dion contributed five new songs to the movie’s soundtrack, including the ballad “Love Again.”
In December 2022, Celine Dion, 55, postponed several European tour dates and spring 2023 concerts after she was diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome. She shared the news with fans on social media in a video statement in French and English.
The Mayo Clinic defines stiff-person syndrome as an autoimmune disorder of the nervous system that often results in “progressive, severe muscle stiffness and spasms of the lower extremities and back.”
“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,” Dion wrote in an Instagram announcement. “I want you all to know, I’m not giving up … and I can’t wait to see you again!”
“She always goes above all, she always tries to be the greatest, the strongest,” she said. “There’s a time when your little heart and your little body speak to you.
“She always goes above all, she always tries to be the greatest, the strongest,” she said. “There’s a time when your little heart and your little body speak to you.
Speaking about Dion’s decision to step away from performing, Claudette said: “At one point, your heart and your body are trying to tell you something. It’s important to listen to it.”
“It’s innate to her, she’s disciplined in every area of her life. We can’t find any medicine that works, but having hope is important,” said the singer’s sister.
Claudette Dion added that the “Love Again” star is “listening to the top researchers in the field of this rare disease as much as possible.”
