Impact on Celine Dion’s career and personal life

During a recent interview with NBC’s Hoda Kotb, Dion candidly discussed how stiff person syndrome has impacted her life and career.

She revealed that the condition affects her ability to perform, describing the sensation as being “like someone is strangling you.”

“It’s hard to do a show; it’s hard to cancel a show. I’m working hard every day. I miss it so much; I miss the people. If I can’t fly, I will run; if I can’t run, I will walk; and if I can’t walk, then I will crawl, but I won’t stop,” she said.

The 56-year-old highlighted that the spasms can occur unpredictably throughout her body, including her spine and abdominal area.

“If I cook, my hands will get in a position where they’re cramping, but it’s in a position where you can’t unlock them,” she explained.

The singer also disclosed the severity of her condition, sharing that she once suffered broken ribs due to its effects.
