Celine Dion's sister, Claudette, shared distressing news about the singer's condition: at the end of last year, she was diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, reports Page Six.
The details about Celine Dion's health are concerning. According to the singer's relative, her condition has worsened, with the 55-year-old Dion losing control over her muscles.

"There are spasms that are simply impossible to control. You know the feeling when you wake up at night due to cramps in your leg or calf? It's a similar sensation, but it's in all muscles. We can do little to support her, to ease her pain," Claudette, the sister of the singer, described her condition.
"She's working hard, but she doesn't have control over her muscles. What breaks my heart is that she's always been disciplined," the sister added.

Despite the incurable nature of her illness, according to Claudette, Celine dreams of returning to the stage and hasn't ruled out the possibility.
The disease is poorly understood, making it very challenging to anticipate its progression. Claudette mentioned, "The vocal cords are muscles, and the heart is also a muscle. This is what comes to get me. Because it's 1 out of a million case, the scientists haven't done that much research because it didn't affect that many people."

Towards the end of 2022, Celine announced the cancellation of the remaining shows of her "Courage" world tour due to her progressing and incurable neurological condition, affecting her muscles, including her vocal cords and heart. She mentioned the difficulty in finding effective treatment but stressed the importance of maintaining hope.
