Céline Dion's sister gives worrying update on the singer's health 'She can't control her muscles'

In December 2022, Céline Dion revealed that she was suffering from Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurological pathology. Since then, the 55-year-old singer has kept a low profile, and her fans are very worried about her. On Tuesday December 12, Claudette Dion gave an interview to 7 Jours. Also involved with the Maman Dion foundation, which aims to help children aged 5 to 16 succeed in school, she revealed that she receives many requests about her sister's state of health.

Hardly reassuring news

Claudette Dion explained:

Some people have lost hope because the disease is not well known. If you only knew the number of calls we receive at the Foundation for news of Céline! People tell us they love her and pray for her. She receives so many messages, gifts, blessed crucifixes.

She works hard, but she can't control her muscles. What saddens me is that she's always been disciplined. She's always worked hard.

And it's thanks in no small part to the unconditional support of those closest to her that Céline Dion has always given her all to what she does. She continued:

Mum always said to her: 'You're going to do this right, you're going to do it the right way.' Of course, in our dreams and in hers, the idea is to return to the stage. In what state? I don't know. Vocal cords are muscles, and so is the heart. That's what I'm after.

Céline Dion in good company

Claudette Dion also said:

As it's one case in millions, scientists didn't do that much research, because it didn't affect that many people.

Despite her illness, the singer is expected to spend the festive season surrounded by her family. Her sister explained:

We're renting a chalet that can accommodate about twenty people. We make snowmen, play field hockey and eat. That's how it goes for a week. Life goes too fast! But this is fun because we're all enjoying it together.
