Celine Dion announced in 2022 that she had been diagnosed with a rare health condition affecting her muscles and vocal cords.
The singer’s eldest sister, Claudette Dion, has been providing updates on her health ever since.
Celine stepped away from the limelight since the announcement and has been keeping a low profile while living at her home in Las Vegas, which she bought with her late husband, with whom she shares three kids.
Celine Dion announced that she was diagnosed with a rare debilitating medical condition. Her sister Claudette Dion has since provided an update on her health.
In a recent interview, Claudette, one of the 14 Dion siblings, revealed how the Queen of Power Ballads is handling her illness and candidly divulged more about the condition.
“She’s doing everything to recover. She’s a strong woman,” said Claudette, adding that the family knows little about Celine’s condition. The Grammy Award winner’s sibling stated there is nothing much the family can do for the star to ease her “pain.”
Claudette, 74, highlighted the symptoms of the illness, saying, “There are spasms – they’re impossible to control. You know when people often jump up in the night because of a cramp in the leg or the calf? It’s a bit like that, but in all muscles.”
In December 2022, 55-year-old Celine revealed in an emotional video on social media that she had been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome.
The Candian native told fans that she was suffering from spasms that were affecting her daily routine, making it challenging for her to walk. The condition has also affected her vocal cords.
Celine, who grew up in a large musical family, has since canceled plans for concerts and decided to pause her Courage world tour until she eventually recovers and is able enough to grace the stage again.
The award-winning artist, who sings pop music, has since retreated from the public eye and has reportedly been cared for by “a great team of doctors” and a sports-medicine therapist to regain her strength.
Celine Is Based in Las Vegas Where She Has Her Residency
Celine reportedly lives with her three sons, René-Charles, Eddy, and Nelson, whom she welcomed with her late husband, René Angelil, who sadly died in January 2016 at age 73.
She previously owned a waterpark after she and her spouse purchased a five-acre plot of land in 2008 and built their dream estate from scratch two years later.
The property, inspired by the Bahamas, featured 13 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms. It also had various water features, including two pools, two slides, and a lazy river.
However, Celine, who began singing professionally at age 12, decided to sell the house after she made a career move to relocate to Las Vegas, where she signed a deal for her residency in 2005. It made it easier for her to be there with her loved ones.
Still, the abode in Jupiter Island, with a waterpark, remained on...
