Celine Dion’s Sister Gives Sad Update on Singer’s Condition: ‘She Doesn’t Have Control Over Her Muscles’
Canadian singer Celine Dion’s spirit is fighting to return to the stage, but her sister said the disease attacking her nervous system may be more than a match for her will.
A year ago, Dion canceled her tour scheduled for this year and announced she had what’s known as stiff person syndrome, a progressive neurological disease that attacks the muscles and limits mobility.
“She’s working hard, but she doesn’t have control over her muscles,” Claudette Dion, 74, who is the singer’s older sister, told the French-language publication 7jours, according to a translation in the U.K. Daily Mail.
“What breaks my heart is that she’s always been disciplined. She’s always worked hard,” she said.
