Celine Dion’s sister Claudette Dion said that the singer has been struggling to find treatment for her stiff person syndrome diagnosis.
The legendary singer shared in December 2022 that she had been diagnosed with the disorder known as Stiff Person Syndrome.
Speaking during an interview with Le Journal de Montreal, Celine Dion’s sister said that the singer has seen little improvement in her health despite working with the top researchers in the field.
“We can’t find any medicine that works, but having hope is important,” Claudette said.
Their other sister Linda has since moved into Celine’s Las Vegas home to act as a caretaker for the hitmaker.
“When I call her and she’s busy, I speak to my sister Linda who lives with her and tells me that she’s working hard. She’s listening to the top researchers in the field of this rare disease as much as possible,” Claudette explained.
Despite the lack of improvement in Celine’s condition, the family still has trust that things will get better.
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”.
