You can be a global superstar, yet still a mere mortal. Unfortunately, none of us are immune to any illness. Moreover, not always enormous fame can save you from the worst.
For instance, Celine Dion's condition is still not improving, despite the support of her family and efforts to find treatments. But should we write off the celebrity's career?
Celine Dion's Condition
As you probably know, Celine Dion shared heavy news with her fans at the end of December 2022. According to the singer, she was forced to postpone her tour once again. The reason, unfortunately, was far from simple.
The Canadian vocalist suffers from an incurable illness - the Stiff Person Syndrome, Ukr.Media reports.
"For a long time, I've been facing health challenges. It was truly difficult for me to confront and share everything I'm going through... I have been diagnosed with a rare neurological condition. It's called 'Stiff Person Syndrome.' This condition affects one in a million," Celine lamented in her video message to her subscribers.
And, as you probably know, since then there have been no updates from the singer. Fan followers of the artist literally have no idea what's known about Celine Dion's condition.
However, it's worth noting that people suffering from the mentioned syndrome later become "living statues." For example, their bodies start to assume unusual poses on their own, and it becomes excruciatingly painful for the person not only to move but even to speak.
"It's Important Not to Stop Hoping"
However, her sister Claudette dared to share the news about the singer's condition. So, the woman revealed that not only the family but also she and another sister, Linda, are by Celine's side.
Moreover, experts who still have hope of finding medications against this rare illness are also involved. But talking about any recovery is still premature.
We can't find medications that work. But it's so important not to lose hope. Honestly, I think what she needs most is rest. She's always stressed.
Always trying to do her best. To be at the top. And now her body is just trying to say something. And it's important to hear it!" Claudette shared in an interview with the media.
Even Celine herself, who is accustomed to serious discipline, promised 8 months ago to focus on her treatment. However, every step is still painful for the artist.
While fans continue to hope for their idol's recovery, music critics are increasingly putting a cross on the vocalist's career. Perhaps, in such situations, one can indeed only hope for a miracle. But whether it will happen, that's the question.
