Celine Dion reveals incurable condition, reschedules and cancels shows

"This is my focus and I'm doing everything that I can to recuperate"

Celine Dion has confirmed that she has been living with a neurological disorder called stiff person syndrome and that she isn’t well enough to resume her tour in February as planned.

Earlier this year, the singer postponed her European tour dates to February 2023 due to “ongoing health issues”, but didn’t elaborate on what exactly they were beyond experiencing spasms. Now, in a video posted to Instagram, Dion has said she “wasn’t ready” to go into more detail about her health in the past, adding: “I am ready now.”

She then revealed that she had been living with stiff person syndrome, an extremely rare autoimmune neurological condition that affects “one person in a million”.

The condition primarily affects the brain and spinal cord and causes muscle stiffness, posture problems and sensory issues, as well as painful spasms (via Healthline).
