"A Rare Disease Affecting 1 in a Million"

Canadian pop singer Celine Dion (55), who sang the theme song for the movie 'Titanic,' is reported to have lost voluntary control over her muscles. Celine's sister, Claudette Dion, said in an interview with the French media outlet '7 Jours,' "Celine is trying hard, but she has lost control over her muscles." She added, "What breaks my heart is that Celine has always been training and making efforts." She also said, "Celine and I dream of her returning to the stage."

Earlier, in December last year, Celine revealed on Instagram that she is suffering from a rare neurological disorder called Stiff-Person Syndrome (SPS). At the time, she said, "It is a rare disease that affects only one in a million," and "All my muscles are experiencing spasms." She continued, "Muscle spasms affect my daily life," adding, "It is difficult to walk, and I cannot use my vocal cords to sing."

SPS is a disease that causes muscle stiffness, making the body rigid, and triggers muscle spasms in response to sound, touch, and emotional stimuli. Patients with this disease may have difficulty walking or moving, and even car horns and street noises can cause spasms that lead to falls.

Meanwhile, Celine canceled her world tour schedule in May due to her condition. The tour organizers stated, "Celine has been diagnosed with an illness that prevents her from performing and has been undergoing continuous treatment." Celine also expressed on Twitter, "I am sorry to disappoint you all," and said, "It breaks my heart too, but canceling everything until I am ready to return to the stage is the best option." She added, "I will not give up," and "I want to meet my fans again soon."

Celine is famous for singing the theme song 'My Heart Will Go On' from the movie 'Titanic.' She has left numerous hit songs such as 'The Power Of Love' and 'All By Myself,' earning love from fans worldwide.
