Canadian singer Celine Dion mentioned she has been recognized with a uncommon neurological dysfunction referred to as Stiff-Person Syndrome that causes muscle spasms and has led her to postpone some European exhibits.

The 54-year-old posted a video to Instagram on Thursday revealing the analysis and explaining that her “Courage World Tour” has been rescheduled from spring 2023 to 2024. Stiff-Person Syndrome causes muscle rigidity and elevated sensitivity to sound, contact and emotional stimuli that may catalyze muscle spasms.

Dion’s muscle spasms led her to postpone her Las Vegas residency in October 2021. However, the star hasn’t publicly shared a analysis till now. “While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what’s been causing all of the spasms that I’ve been having,” she mentioned. “Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life, sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to.”

The “My Heart Will Go On” singer mentioned that whereas she misses her followers, her well being is her focus proper now. “I’m working hard with my sports medicine therapist every day to build back my strength and my ability to perform again,” she mentioned. “But I have to admit it’s been a struggle.”

Thanking her followers for his or her assist, she turned emotional. “All I know is singing,” the Grammy winner mentioned.

While Dion’s spring 2023 exhibits shall be rescheduled for the next yr, eight summer time 2023 exhibits have been canceled.
