“Today the world recognizes International SPS Awareness Day,” Dion, wrote.
“As many of you know, in the fall of 2022, I was diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS). Trying to overcome this autoimmune disorder has been one of the hardest experiences of my life, but I remain determined to one day get back onto the stage and to live as normal of a life as possible. I am deeply grateful for the love and support from my kids, family, team and all of you!”
The Quebec-born star revealed her diagnosis with SPS, a rare autoimmune disorder, in the fall of 2022 and went on to cancel all the remaining dates in her world tour.
“I’m so sorry to disappoint all of you once again,” she said in a statement last year in May. “I’m working really hard to build back my strength, but touring can be very difficult even when you’re 100 percent.” (also noted here)
Celine Dion last performed on stage in London in 2019 before announcing she was suffering from a rare ‘one in a million’ illness. Her last stage appearance was at the Grammy’s.
