Singer Celine Dion recently postponed her upcoming concerts for March and April 2024, disappointing her fans. Online support for the singer has poured in after it was revealed that her concert cancelations were due to Stiff-person syndrome.
Dion revealed the news today in a video posted to her social media account, in which she apologized to her fans for postponing her tour. She mentioned:
“While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we know this is what’s been causing all of the spasms that I’ve been having. Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal chords to sing the way I’m used to.”
Celine Dion added that her doctors are taking good care of her and doing everything they can to help her recover. Stating that this was the toughest battle she had ever fought in her life, Celine said that she had been fighting her health issues for many years and it was hard for her to open up about the same with everyone. She said that she misses her fans and the stage and concluded by saying:
“I want to thank you so much for your encouraging wishes and love and support on my social media. This means a lot to me. Take care of yourselves. Be well. I love you guys so much and I really hope I can see you again real soon.”

Celine’s diagnosis of Stiff-person syndrome left her fans worried for her and they sent their best wishes for her recovery on Twitter. Here are a few reactions:

Stiff-person syndrome can affect the central nervous system and lead to muscle spasms
Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) refers to a rare autoimmune movement disorder affecting the brain and spinal cord. The problem begins when muscles become stiff all around the body.
SPS can lead to painful muscle spasms and can happen from noise, emotional distress, and light physical touch. These effects can make it difficult or impossible to walk, and the necessary treatment could take years. The syndrome begins in one area of the body and quickly spreads to the rest.
SPS affects one in a million and is most common in people between the ages of 30 and 60. It is more common in people with a history of autoimmune diseases and cancer.
The cause of SPS is unknown, but symptoms can appear anywhere between a few months and years. Blood tests, electromyography, and lumbar puncture can all be used to diagnose it.
Medications like benzodiazepines, baclofen, anti-seizure drugs, intravenous immunoglobulin, plasmapheresis, rituximab, and autologous stem cell transplant are all viable options for treating SPS.
