Celine Dion is not giving up on her music career despite being diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome in 2022, leading to a halt on her world tour and stage performances. The singer’s condition has affected her ability to use her vocal cords and control her muscles, as she often experiences painful spasms and rigidity.
Celine has been open about her health ever since, providing updates on social media and creating awareness about the rare condition, which reportedly affects twice as many women than men. Although chances of Celine performing again remain bleak, the star recently vowed to get back on stage soon no matter what it takes.

It appears Celine has planned her next performances, seeing that she asked her manager for permission to reveal dates. Snippets from Celine’s discussion with Hoda provided a glimmer of hope for worried fans, and the full interview will air during a primetime special night.
Staying true to her determined nature, Celine chose to make an inspiring story out of her pain through an upcoming documentary titled I Am: Celine Dion. The film will be available for streaming on Prime Video and will give a peek into “one of the hardest experiences” of her life. The project also shares more about Celine beyond SPS, such as her work ethic and touring wardrobe.
