Celine Dion recently opened up about the challenges she faces while living with stiff person syndrome. In a heartfelt interview with NBC's Hoda Kotb, the renowned singer shared that attempting to sing with this condition is like being strangled.
"It feels like someone is squeezing your throat," Dion explained, as she gently placed pressure on her own larynx to demonstrate. This rare neurological disorder can cause spasms in various parts of the body, including the abdomen, spine, and ribs.
In fact, Dion revealed that she has even broken ribs due to the severity of the spasms. This condition, as described by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, is a progressive syndrome that affects the nervous system, particularly the brain and spinal cord.
Last year, Dion made the difficult decision to cancel her "Courage World Tour." A source close to her shared with CNN that she may never tour again. However, there is hope as doctors have found something in her blood that may explain her condition. With proper care and treatment, Dion is determined to resume more activities.
This journey of overcoming stiff person syndrome is also the focus of an upcoming documentary titled "I Am: Celine Dion," which will be available to stream on Prime Video on June 25th. Despite the challenges she faces, Dion continues to inspire her fans with her courage and resilience.
