Celine Dion, the renowned Canadian vocalist, has remained determined to continue performing despite her struggle with Stiff Person Syndrome.
Speaking with Hoda Kotb on the Today Show, the 56-year-old singer affirmed her commitment to return to live shows, expressing readiness to overcome any obstacle, even if it means crawling to the stage and communicating with gestures.
“I’m going back on stage, even if I have to crawl. Even if I have to talk with my hands, I will. I will,” she vowed.
Dion disclosed her 17-year-long private battle with Stiff Person Syndrome, a condition she initially revealed in 2022 but has been experiencing symptoms of since 2008.
Describing the sensation as akin to being strangled, she shared the challenges she faces, including frequent cramps and even fractured ribs.
