Celine Dion opens up about life with rare neurological disorder
The illness of Celine Dion has significantly impacted her music career. The singer, who has been struggling for many months with an incurable disease, has given up all her professional commitments. In a recent interview, she spoke about the difficulties she faces each day.
Celine Dion received a devastating diagnosis of Stiff-Person Syndrome at the end of 2022. This extremely rare and incurable neurological disorder causes uncontrollable muscle spasms. Despite this, the star remains determined not to give up. Although there has been no significant progress, she performs demanding rehabilitation exercises every day, relying on the support of her loved ones.
Health complications forced the singer to give up public performances completely. She canceled the remainder of the "Courage World Tour," including Lodz and Krakow shows. Despite being unable to tour actively, she continues to engage with the media, as demonstrated by her latest interview on the American program "Today."
Will Celine Dion ever regain her former voice?
The pop icon has been delighting audiences worldwide for four decades. Music has filled her entire life, but her illness has made it impossible for her to control her singing style. In an interview with journalists, she spoke about the painful symptoms.
It's like someone is pushing your larynx. It is like you are talking like that, and you cannot go high or lower. It gets into a spasm - she confessed on NBC.
Celine Dion added that her severe condition gives her no respite.
I have broken ribs at one point because sometimes when its very severe, it can break - the emotional star recounted.
The interview promoted the documentary "I Am: Celine Dion," in which the 56-year-old will reminisce about the canceled world tour and reveal more details about her challenging everyday life.
