The Canadian pop singer, Celine Dion, had to call off her concert dates for 2023 and 2024 due to her illness. She has been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome.
Celine Dion Cancels Her 2023 & 2024 Tour
In Dec 2022, she came online to share this emotionally breaking news to her fans worldwide that she had such a rare illness. It is a neurological condition that makes her muscles spasm and at times it is uncontrollable. She said that she isn’t even able to sing because of the condition at least not like she can usually.
Celine Dion in Dec 2022 said, “It hurts me to tell you that I won’t be ready to restart my tour in Europe in February”. And furthermore, she said, “I always give 100 percent when I do my show, but my condition is not allowing me to give you that right now.”
She recently yet again opened up about her health condition addressing her fans saying, “I’m so sorry to disappoint all of you once again. I’m working really hard to build back my strength, but touring can be very difficult even when you’re 100%,”
“It’s not fair to you to keep postponing the shows, and even though it breaks my heart, it’s best that we cancel everything now until I’m really ready to be back on stage again. I want you all to know, I’m not giving up… and I can’t wait to see you again!”
Celine Dion said she has no choice but to focus on her recovery and then get back on stage. As “While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what’s been causing all of the spasms that I’ve been having,” Dion said at the time. She had to cancel all the dates for 2023 and 2024. Let’s hope that she recovers fast as we can’t wait to see her rock on stage as always.
Celine Dion has been working closely with her doctors. She said, “I’m working hard with my sports medicine therapist every day to build back my strength and my ability to perform again,” she said. “But I have to admit it’s been a struggle.”
What is Stiff Person Syndrome?
Stiff Person Syndrome is a neurological condition in which muscle spasms are uncontrollable and rigid. A person suffering from this condition can experience stiffness in the abdomen, the trunk, the legs, and all over the body. This syndrome is scary in the sense that it can also fracture one’s bones due to spasms.
This syndrome is incurable but the degree of pain can be taken under control with aggressive care and supervision.
Conclusion
The world cant wait for Celine Dion to get back on stage after a long period of illness and pain that she has had to endure.
