The chart-topping singer’s career has been on hold since she was diagnosed with the autoimmune condition in 2022
Celine Dion has opened up about life with stiff person syndrome (SPS), a debilitating condition that she was diagnosed with in 2022.
SPS, an extremely rare autoimmune neurological disorder affecting an estimated 8,000 people worldwide, causes muscle spasms and stiffness and can cause a loss of mobility. In Dion’s case, she has previously said that the illness is “causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to”.
