Canadian singer Celine Dion has said she won’t let her Stiff Person Syndrome battle stop her from performing again.
The 56-year-old singer, in an interview with Hoda Kotb on the Today Show, vowed that she would resume live performances even if she had to crawl to the stage and talk with her hands.
“I’m going to go back on stage, even if I have to crawl. Even if I have to talk with my hands, I will. I will,” she vowed.
Celine Dion recently stated that her Stiff Person Syndrome feels like she’s “being strangled”.
She added that that she often suffers from cramps and even had broken some ribs.
Celine Dion first hinted at her health woes in January when she cancelled the North American dates of her Courage world tour from March 9 to April 22, 2022.
The announcement came three months after she had to cancel the start of her Las Vegas comeback residency over the same health issue.
Celine has become known as ‘Queen Of Las Vegas’ because of her enormously successful residencies there.
After retiring her famous Caesars Palace residency in 2019, she was coaxed back to Sin City to perform at the new Resorts World on the Strip.
