Celine Dion has talked up about her tragic fight with Stiff-Person syndrome.
The Canadian singer, who revealed the illness for the first time in an interview with “Today” host Hoda Kotb, claimed it felt like someone was attempting to strangle her.
She also stated that the sensation of someone pushing on her throat made her voice sound unusual, and she even emulated it by speaking in a high-pitched tone.
Celine Dion stated that it all began in her throat, and while she didn’t think it was a huge concern, her hands and feet began cramping so severely that she couldn’t release them. Her muscle spasms were so severe that she ended up with broken ribs.
The singer shared the diagnosis in 2022, and it eventually forced her to cancel her world tour. Her sister has also discussed her autoimmune disorder, mentioning how it sometimes leaves Celine totally immobilized.
She’s slowly making a comeback to the limelight, showing up at NHL games and even taking on a presenting role at the Grammys this year.
