Summary
Céline Dion has received some very bad news. Yesterday, the beloved “My Heart Will Go On” singer posted two Instagram videos telling her fans that she’s pumping the brakes on her tour. She revealed the reason is that she’s been diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder called Stiff Person Syndrome, which makes it difficult to sing, much less to perform live. If there’s one thing we know about Céline, it’s that she’s a fighter who’s no stranger to overcoming life’s challenges. But does this serious and heartbreaking diagnosis mean we may never see Céline on stage again?
