The 56-year-old Canadian superstar will open up in new Amazon Prime show, I am: Céline Dion on June 25
, the star admitted she has been dealing with side effects from the rare neurological disorder for the best part of two decades.Imploring her fans to not ignore any adverse medical symptoms of their own, she said: "It might seem weird to say this, but I was happy when I was told what it was. I was finally going to be able to live with this illness and no longer suffer from it.
"I told myself the universe had sent me a sign with Covid: I needed to make the most of this time of rest to discover what was going on," she told VOGUE. People with stiff person syndrome suffer from frequent falls, because they lack defensive reflexes to save themselves. Sufferers are often unable to walk or move, and it's twice as common in women than in men.
In October 2021, Celine concerned fans worldwide she would be delaying her Las Vegas shows due to "severe and persistent muscle spasms".This was followed by the cancellation of the North American leg of her Courage world tour in January 2022, and later the axing of her European dates.
