Celine Dion said singing with stiff-person to syndrome is like 'somebody is strangling you' in a preview of her upcoming interview with Hoda Kotb.
“It’s like somebody is pushing your larynx, pharynx this way,” Dion continued, pressing her hand to her throat. Dion proceeded to speak a little with her hand still on her throat, her voice sounding weak and airy. “It’s like you’re talking like that, and you cannot go higher or lower,” she said.
The upcoming primetime special will mark Dion’s first broadcast interview since she was diagnosed with SPS in 2022. The— which has kept Dion from performing over the past several years — can cause stiffness in the body and limbs, as well as debilitating spasms. In the new interview clip, Dion said she has experienced spasms in her throat, abdomen, spine, and ribs, adding that one was so “severe” it left her with a broken rib. She also said that sometimes her limbs will essentially freeze up, like if she’s cooking, and her hands will get in a position “where you cannot unlock them.” Alex Jones Will Sell Off Infowars to Help Pay $1.
