“Merry Christmas everyone! Merry Christmas to everyone!"
In a video capsule posted on her Instagram account, Celine Dion spoke for the first time since the announcement of her illness, to wish happy holidays to her 5 million subscribers.
"I wish you love, happiness and above all a lot of health
," continued the singer.
Wishes that refer to his own state of health.
At the beginning of December, in another video, the star evoked with emotion the
“rare neurological disorder”
from which she suffers.
"
Recently, I was diagnosed with a very rare neurological disorder, called in English
'stiff-person syndrome'
"
, she explained.
This disease is characterized in particular by a progressive muscular rigidity.
The singer can sometimes have difficulty moving, but also using her vocal cords.
Her state of health had forced her to cancel a major concert tour she had planned for 2023, including the one she was to give at the Les Vieilles Charrues festival on July 13.
On the other hand, six concerts planned at La Défense Arena (near Paris) scheduled for September 2023 are maintained.
The star should also make an appearance in the cinema - she will play her own role - in the romantic comedy
Love Again
which will arrive in French theaters on June 7, 2023.
