Celine Dion says she’s doing everything she can to prove that nothing can stop her, even as she faces Stiff Person Syndrome… 2 years after she was first diagnosed.
The icon admits she’s upset she hasn’t yet beaten the disease – but as she provided a rare update on her health to Vogue Franceshe insisted she was doing everything in her power to move forward in the hope that science will eventually find a cure.
Celine acknowledges that she has had serious moments of doubt, saying… “I have to learn to live with it now and stop second-guessing myself. At first I asked myself: Why me? How did this happen? What did I do? That’s it. my fault?”
She continues: “The way I see it, I have two choices. Either I train like an athlete and work hard, or I switch off and it’s over, I stay at home, listen to my music, stand in front of my mirror and sing to myself.”
Celine explains that she chose to work on her body and soul from head to toe… dedicating herself fully to rigorous athletic, physical and vocal therapy sessions, 5 days a week, to aid her recovery.
The legend is taking it one day at a time, but she has her sights set on some big goals… like seeing the Eiffel Tower again and hitting the road for another tour.

The “My Heart Will Go On” singer was diagnosed with SPS in 2022, and her sister previously revealed that the autoimmune disorder sometimes leaves Celine completely immobilized.
But Celine managed to stand out, making some appearances at NHL games and also at the Grammys, where she performed Taylor Swift with its Album of the Year award.
