Celine Dion’s Sister Reports Concerns About Loss of Muscle Control

Celine Dion‘s sister, Claudette Dion, has provided a heartfelt update on the iconic singer’s battle with stiff person syndrome.

In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Claudette revealed the challenging reality of Celine’s health journey.

According to Claudette, Celine has experienced a loss of control over her muscles, a distressing development as her condition continues to deteriorate. Claudette expressed the sorrow she feels, emphasizing Celine’s lifelong discipline and hard work, instilled by their mother’s encouragement to excel in everything she does.

Despite the worsening situation, Claudette shared that Celine still harbors a desire to return to the stage. However, the specifics of how and in what capacity remain uncertain.

The diagnosis of stiff person syndrome was announced by Celine Dion in December 2022, leading to the cancellation of the remaining dates of her “Courage” world tour. The progressive and incurable neurological disorder affects muscles, including the vocal cords and heart, as detailed in Celine’s statement and reported by Page Six.

Claudette shed light on the rarity of the condition, explaining that scientists have conducted limited research due to its infrequency. She emphasized the impact on vocal cords and the heart, both being muscles susceptible to the disorder.

Despite the challenges, Claudette shared the overwhelming support Celine has received from well-wishers. Messages presents, and blessed crucifixes have poured in, illustrating the outpouring of love for the beloved artist.

Claudette expressed gratitude for the countless individuals reaching out. Especially to those who offered prayers and expressed their love for Celine during this difficult time.
