More details
Celine had revealed that after months of struggling with heath issues like muscle spasms and stiffness she had officially been diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS), a rare autoimmune disorder.
The singer made a surprise appearance at the Grammy Awards earlier this year in February, when she took the stage and received a standing ovation. She presented the last award of the night- Album of the Year to Taylor Swift‘s Midnights. “When I say, I’m happy to be here, I really mean it from my heart,” she said.
A documentary, titled I AM | Celine Dion was released on Amazon Prime Video on June 25, which took an intimate look into the diagnosis of the rare neurological disorder and the consequences it entails on her life and career.
The Paris Olympics is scheduled to take place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 in France.
