Celine Dion No Longer Has Control Muscles, Singer’s Sister Reveals Amid Incurable Stiff Person Syndrome
Claudette, Celine Dion’s 75-year-old sister, claims that the legendary Canadian singer, 55, no longer has “control over her muscles.”
The singer declared in December of last year that she suffers from stiff person syndrome, a neurological condition, and she cancelled her world tour.
Celine’s condition, which is progressive and incurable, causes the body to attack its own nerve cells and severely impacts mobility.
“She’s working hard, but she doesn’t have control over her muscles. What breaks my heart is that she’s always been disciplined,” Claudette told 7 Jours.
“She’s always worked hard. Our mother always told her, ‘You’re going to do it well, you’re going to do it properly.’
She continued: “It’s true that in both our dreams and hers, the goal is to return to the stage. In what capacity? I don’t know.”
Claudette added: “The vocal cords are muscles, and the heart is also a muscle. This is what comes to get me. Because it’s 1 out of a million case, the scientists haven’t done that much research because it didn’t affect that many people.”
