Celine Dion initially postponed her “Courage World Tour” but was eventually forced to cancel it entirely due to her condition. Since then, her music career has stalled and the singer has largely withdrawn from the public eye.

Claudette Dion recently revealed that her famous sister’s health has barely improved despite working with “the best researchers in the field.” “We cannot find effective medicines, but it is important to have hope,” she told Le Journal de Montreal.

This disease is rare and has been little researched

And now she’s turned to the public with another disturbing update. Claudette Dionne said that her sister is working hard to be able to return to the stage, but she “no longer has control over her muscles.” Her biggest concern: “The vocal cords are muscles, and the heart is a muscle too.” The most important thing at the moment is to stop the effects of the disease on him. But because stiff person syndrome is so rare, there has been little research on it and progress has been slow.

Even if she doesn’t know when she’ll be able to return to the stage or in what form, Celine Dion is grateful for her fans’ support. The Maman Dionne Sisterhood Foundation receives countless letters: “People tell us they love them and are praying for them,” says Claudette Dionne. The singer herself has not commented on her condition for some time. (Tonline/JD)
