Céline Dion: Another health update reveals that the singer’s voice might never be the same

Céline Dion’s iconic voice has gifted the world hits such as All By Myself and My Heart Will Go On. Her voice has touched many all around the world and her live performances have attracted audience members for many years.

For instance her Las Vegas residency between 2011 and 2019 had been seen by over 200K people in 2011 breaking Elvis Presley’s record. Her performing style is also one of a kind; Dion is expressive, energetic and powerful, keeping viewers amazed and entertained.

However, since she has been diagnosed with ‘stiff person syndrome’ the singer has been forced to cancel live shows and now it appears that her voice has been impacted.

Recent health updates are very concerning

According to French media RTL Info the singer who hasn’t been seen in public for over 600 days is currently struggling to walk. Céline Dion’s sister Claudette explains:

Céline has reached the point where she is struggling to walk. Loud noises are now also starting to trigger spasms

The fact that her condition has been rapidly getting worse really indicates that the singer won't be returning to the stage any time soon, or at least not with her usual style.

This health update doesn’t stop there and Claudette continues:

Her back is arched and sometimes, her spasms are very hard to cope with

The syndrome is now impacting Céline Dion’s iconic voice

‘Stiff person syndrome’ is described by the NHS as ‘a rare, progressive neurological disorder’ with the following symptoms: ‘stiff muscles in the trunk (torso), arms, and legs’ as well as ‘greater sensitivity to noise, touch, and emotional distress, which can set off muscle spasms.’

This is a very serious condition which, over time, leaves its victims unable to move. Earlier in August 2023, Claudette had already shared that doctors were struggling to find the right treatment for her sister and that now seems to have quickly caught up with the singer.

Claudette says:

The syndrome is now also impacting her voice. It sounds very different. She is also struggling to breathe.

It appears like Céline Dion’s symptoms are getting worse as time passes but we continue to hope that the singer gets the help she needs very soon.
