Celine Dion disclosed her diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome a year ago, and the disorder has now led to difficulties in managing muscle control. In May, she canceled her Courage World Tour due to the challenges posed by the disorder, characterized by painful muscle spasms and stiffness.

In an Instagram post in May, Celine expressed her regret over disappointing her fans and explained the difficulties of touring amidst her health struggles. The singer is currently under the care of doctors specializing in stiff-person syndrome in the Las Vegas area.

Despite the health challenges, Celine recently spent quality time with her 22-year-old son René-Charles and 13-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy, attending a hockey game on October 30. The family enjoyed a night out watching the Montreal Canadiens face the Vegas Golden Knights.

Fans and well-wishers continue to support Celine Dion as she confronts the complexities of stiff-person syndrome, and updates on her health will be provided as available.
