Celine Dion’s stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder, has gotten worse. In an interview with 7 Jours, her sister, Claudette Dion stated that the singer “doesn’t have control over her muscles.” Celine, known for timeless hits such as I’m Alive, My Heart Will Go On, and Because You Loved Me, revealed her diagnosis a year ago. She was most recently seen in Priyanka Chopra’s film, Love Again.

Celine canceled a series of shows in December of last year due to health issues. “Recently, I was diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder called stiff person syndrome,’ which affects about one in a million people,” she said in an Instagram video message to her fans. The illness, she said, “affects every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to.”
The singer claims that she has the support of her children and a team of doctors, “but I have to admit I struggle.” “All I know is singing,” she sobbed. “it’s what I’ve done all my life, and it’s what I love to do the most.” I miss seeing you all, being on stage, and performing for you.”
