Celine revealed that after struggling for several months with health issues including muscle spasms and stiffness, she was officially diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), a rare autoimmune disorder.
The singer made a surprise appearance at the Grammy Awards in February this year, when she came on stage and received a standing ovation. She presented the last award of the night—the award for Album of the Year—to Taylor Swift’s Midnight. “When I say, I’m happy to be here, I truly mean it from my heart,” she said.
On June 25, a documentary called I Am | Celine Dion was released on Amazon Prime Video, taking an in-depth look at her diagnosis with a rare neurological disorder and the consequences it had on her life and career.
The Paris Olympics are scheduled to be held in France from 26 July to 11 August 2024.
