Celine Dion made her first public appearance in three and a half years and took the microphone to sing to the surprise of many.
The 55-year-old singer looked so happy when she stepped out for a hockey game between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Montreal Canadiens.
“She’s been through a lot, and to see her like this and smiling and being so happy…it’s amazing,” Machabée says of Dion, who revealed her debilitating stiff-person syndrome diagnosis last year. “I know she has good days and not so good days, but this was a very good day, and it was reassuring,” Chantal Machabée, vice president of hockey communications for the Canadiens, said.
During the outing, the music legend was talking, laughing and even sang “a few notes,” Machabée adds: “It was an incredible moment. She’s an amazing woman.”can dislocate joints and even break bones.”
In May 2023, Celine Dion cancelled her Courage world tour as she continued to battle with the neurological disorder.
The 55-year-old Canadian singer said she was not strong enough to tour, stating that the rare disorder was affecting her singing.
Celine took to Instagram to announce that with ‘tremendous disappointment’ she was unable to perform on her world tour, adding she’s ‘working really hard to build back her strength’.
She said the disorder was causing muscle spasms and was “not allowing me to use my vocal cords to sing the way I’m used to”.
