Singer and international superstar Celine Dion, who earlier this year canceled all tour dates through 2024 due to a rare neurological disease called Stiff-Person Syndrome, continues to suffer uncontrollable and painful muscle spasms, her sister tells a Canadian publication.
In a new interview with Hello! Canada magazine, Claudette Dion called her sister “a strong woman” who is “doing everything to recover” from the illness, but with no known cure the family can do little but hope medical researchers evetually “find a remedy for this awful illness.”
“It’s an illness we know so little about,” Claudette Dion tells the publication. “There are spasms – they’re impossible to control. You know who people often jump up in the night because of a cramp in the leg or the calf? It’s a bit like that, but in all muscles. There’s little we can do to support her, to alleviate her pain.”
Stiff-Person Syndrome is a rare, progressive neurological disorder that causes muscle stiffness in the torso, arms and legs. The rare condition strikes about one in a million people.
The Grammy-winning “My Heart Will Go On” singer disclosed the diagnosis in December 2022 when she canceled European tour dates scheduled for February 2023. In May of this year, she canceled the entire 2023-2024 tour.
The Las Vegas-based singer has largely remained out of the public spotlight since making the cancelation announcement on Instagram in May.

Amnesty International — which is protesting the man’s prosecution — the 20-year-old was arrested along with a 41-year-old man after the two were allegedly found half-naked around midnight on August 15 at the Soroti Sports Ground in the eastern part of the country.Initially, both men were going to be charged with engaging in sexual relations with a person of the same sex.The charge carries a penalty of 10 years in prison for attempting to engage in same-sex conduct and life imprisonment for those found guilty of engaging in same-sex conduct.However, the 41-year-old, who is reportedly “disabled” — a claim for which no evidence was provided — was released because he could not provide consent due to his “mental status.” As a result, the 20-year-old was charged with “aggravated homosexuality,” which the law defines as instances in which a person engages in same-sex relations while living with HIV, or with a partner who can either not legally consent or has been coerced or seduced into sex.Such offenses are punishable by death under the law, which was signed into effect by President Yoweri Museveni in May.
