Celine Dion announced in 2022 that she had been diagnosed with a rare health condition affecting her muscles and vocal cords.
The singer’s eldest sister, Claudette Dion, has been providing updates on her health ever since.
In a recent interview, Claudette, one of the 14 Dion siblings, revealed how the Queen of Power Ballads is handling her illness and candidly divulged more about the condition.
Celine stepped away from the limelight since the announcement and has been keeping a low profile while living at her home in Las Vegas, which she bought with her late husband, with whom she shares three kids.
Celine Dion announced that she was diagnosed with a rare debilitating medical condition. Her sister Claudette Dion has since provided an update on her health.
“She’s doing everything to recover. She’s a strong woman,” said Claudette, adding that the family knows little about Celine’s condition. The Grammy Award winner’s sibling stated there is nothing much the family can do for the star to ease her “pain.”
Claudette, 74, highlighted the symptoms of the illness, saying, “There are spasms – they’re impossible to control. You know when people often jump up in the night because of a cramp in the leg or the calf? It’s a bit like that, but in all muscles.”
In December 2022, 55-year-old Celine revealed in an emotional video on social media that she had been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome.
The Candian native told fans that she was suffering from spasms that were affecting her daily routine, making it challenging for her to walk. The condition has also affected her vocal cords.
