“She doesn’t have control of her muscles”: Céline Dion’s sister gives less than reassuring news

Last May, Céline Dion announced the cancellation of around forty shows planned in Europe until April 2024. Suffering from a rare neurological disease, “stiff man” syndrome, causes disorders which are characterized by progressive muscle rigidity. This pathology causes difficulty walking and prevents the singer from “using (her) vocal cords” as she would like, she explained in a video posted on social networks.

The singer said she was accompanied by an “excellent team of doctors”. In an interview given to the media 7 Jours, Claudette gave news of her sister. “She works hard, but she doesn’t have control of her muscles,” she says.

The latest news, however, seemed reassuring for fans of the My Heart Will Go On singer. The singer made a first outing on October 30 in Las Vegas, where she came to greet the Montreal Canadiens ice hockey team. On November 4, she went to Las Vegas to attend Katty Perry's concert on stage at the Resort World Theater.

“It’s certain that in our dreams and in his dreams, the idea is to return to the stage. In which state ? I don’t know, confides Claudette. The vocal cords are muscles, and the heart is also a muscle. This is one case among millions. "Scientists didn't do that much research because it didn't affect that many people."

It is impossible to know if Celine Dion will reprise her titles I'll go where you go, I'm Alive or Pour que tu m'aimes on the international stage. In any case, this is what his fans want, who give him unfailing support. “If you only knew the number of calls we receive at the Foundation to get news about Céline,” he told the media outlet 7 Jours. “People tell us they love her and pray for her.”
