Celine Dion, 54, diagnosed with incurable neurological disease | Her.ie

"I’ve been dealing with problems with my health for a long time and its been really difficult for me to face my challenges and to talk about everything that I’ve been going through."Recently I’ve been diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder called the stiff person syndrome which affects 1 in a million people."While we’re still learning about this rare condition, we now know this is what’s been causing all the spasms I’ve been having.

Detailing the impact the condition has had on her, Celine continued:"Unfortunately, these spasms affect every aspect of my daily life sometimes causing difficulties when I walk and not allowing me to use my vocal chords to sing the way I'm used to. "It hurts me to tell you today that this means I won’t be ready to restart my tour in Europe in February."I have a great team of doctors working alongside me to help me get better and my precious children who are supporting me and giving me help.

"I'm working hard with my sports medicine therapist every day to build back my strength and my ability to perform again but I have to admit it’s been a struggle."I miss you so much. I miss seeing all of you being on the stage performing for you. 'I always give 100 percent when I do my show but my condition is now allowing me to give you that right now.

"For me to reach you again I have no choice but to concentrate on my health at this moment and I have hope that im on the road to recovery.
