A year and a half ago, Céline Dion surprised her followers on social media with a statement in which she announced that she suffered from a strange neurological disorder known as rigid person syndrome. A disease that affects the central nervous system and caused “very severe and persistent muscle spasms.”

Among other things, the singer had to cancel her tour, Courage World Tour on all of its dates in 2023 and 2024 due to the illness. She was optimistic about her recovery, but new statements from her sister, Claudette Dion, lead us to suspect that the artist’s condition had worsened.

The singer’s sister gave the bad news to her followers, who hoped that the withdrawal from the stage would help the artist recover more quickly and could recover some of the dates of her tour in 2024. However, they face a totally opposite situation.

As the eldest of the Dion sisters explained to 7 Jours (via TMZ), it breaks her heart that Céline is in this state, because “she has always been disciplined and very hardworking,” and having to fight a neurological disease It would be taking a toll on him.

Still, Claudette Dion insists that her sister’s ultimate goal is to return to the stage. Now, she is not very sure if she will be able to do it again as her followers want, since there is no cure for the disease she suffers from.

Claudette Dion’s statements come just a few months after Céline herself confessed that she was doing “everything possible” to recover, but her muscle spasms were impossible to control, which prevented her from returning to the stage.

The last time the Canadian singer could be seen in public was last November, when she attended an ice hockey game between the Vegas Golden Kings and the Montreal Canadiens. The artist reappeared for the first time in more than three years.

Her family is dedicated to her. The artist’s other sister, Linda Dion, is the one who is dedicated to caring for her full-time, accompanied by the artist’s children, René-Charles (22) and the twins Eddie and Nelson (12). “We can’t find any medicine that works, but having hope is important,” Claudette Dion confessed last August to Le Journal de Montreal. “What he needs most is rest. He is listening to the best researchers in the field of this rare disease.”
